Proud To Be An American Series
Flag Day June 14th

“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 NATIONAL FLAG REPRESENTS OUR COUNTRY AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE A LIVING THING EMBLEMATIC OF THE RESPECT AND PRIDE WE HAVE FOR OUR NATION. DISPLAY IT PROUDLY.
THERE ARE CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL RULES OF FLAG ETIQUETTE WHICH, IF UNDERSTOOD, INDICATE THE PROPER METHODS OF DISPLAYING THE FLAG. FOR EXAMPLE THE TOP OF THE FLAG IS REPRESENTED BY THE "UNION" OR FIELD OF STARS. THEREFORE CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THE UNION DETERMINES IN WHICH ORIENTATION THE FLAG MUST BE DISPLAYED. ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHICH TIES FLAG ETIQUETTE TO FLAG DAY IS A SPECIAL CEREMONY CONDUCTED BY MANY PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATIONS WHERE FLAGS WHICH HAVE BECOME UNSERVICABLE MUST BE DESTROYED BY BURNING IN A DIGNIFIED FLAG BURNING CEREMONY.
THE NATIONAL EMBLEM IS A SYMBOL OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY, OUR HERITAGE AND OUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD. WE OWE REVERENCE AND RESPECT TO OUR FLAG. IT REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST IDEALS OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
