"When we honor our flag we honor what we stand for as a Nation -- freedom, equality, justice, and hope." 

~Ronald Reagan


"We take the star from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty."  

~George Washington.


"Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God."  

~George Washington


"A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth."  

~Henry Ward Beecher


"If anyone, then, asks me the meaning of our flag, I say to him - it means just what Concord and Lexington meant; what Bunker Hill meant; which was, in short, the rising up of a valiant young people against an old tyranny to establish the most momentous doctrine that the world had ever known - the right of men to their own selves and to their liberties."   

~Henry Ward Beecher


"It is the flag just as much of the man who was naturalized yesterday as of the men whose people have been here many generations."   

~Henry Cabot Lodge


"Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"  

~Francis Scott Key


"Today we celebrate Flag Day, the birthday of our Stars and Stripes. As we think back over the history of our nation's flag, we remember that the story of its early years was often one of hardship and trials, sometimes a fight for simple survival. ... As the American Republic grew and prospered and new stars were added to the flag, the ideal of freedom grew and prospered. From the rolling hills of Kentucky to the shores of California to the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon, our pioneers carried our flag before them, a symbol of the indomitable spirit of a free people. And let us never forget that in honoring our flag, we honor the American men and women who have courageously fought and died for it over the last 200 years, patriots who set an ideal above any consideration of self. Our flag flies free today because of their sacrifice."

~Ronald Reagan


"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."    

~The Pledge Of Allegiance 


"Off with your hat, as the flag goes by!
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for a tear in your eye
That you will not wipe away."

~Henry Cuyler Bunner


When Freedom from her mountain-height 
Unfurled her standard to the air, 
She tore the azure robe of night, 
 And set the stars of glory there. 

She mingled with its gorgeous dyes 
The milky baldric of the skies, 
And striped its pure, celestial white 
With streakings of the morning light.

Flag of the free heart's hope and home! 
By angel hands to valour given! 
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, 
And all thy hues were born in heaven. 

Forever float that standard sheet! 
Where breathes the foe but falls before us, 
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, 
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us. 

~Joseph Rodman Drake
