Commander, comrades, lodges
and gentlemen and schoolchildren:
I feel proud to stand here today as
a member of the Grand Army of
the Republic and I feel highly
honored to be called by Professor
Holland of your high school to give
you the history of our flag from j
the earliest dawn of freedom until
the present time. Our flag! yes we,
the old veterans feel proud to call
it our flag; and why not when in
the prime of our youth we left our
homes and kindred, placed our lives
in the balance on our country's
alter, offered these bodies as a
bulwork to protect the flag; we
have marched beneath its starry
Jolds through mud and sleet and
snow, we have charged across

a free and a united people. Every
nation has a symbolic ensign, some
have beasts, birds, fishes or
reptiles in their banner, but our
forefathers chose the stars and
stripes; the red telling of the blood
shed by them; the blue of the
heavens, their protection; the stars
represent a constalation of states.
The idea was taken from the con
stalation lyra signifying harmony.
The blue of the field was taken
from the edges of the cov
enenters banner significant of the
league and covenant against op
pression involving the virtues of
vigilance, perseverance and jus
tice. The thirteen stripes and
stars showed the number of the
united colonies. The whole was a
blending of the various flags pre
vious to the Union flag, the red
one of the army and the white one
of the floating batteries, the red
color denoting daring and de
fiance and white purity.
Our banner with its stars and
stripes is a familiar object. Every
body has seen it and admired it;
and no wonder for it is the hand

red and white stripes in beautifu
contrast with the blue field be
decked with stars as though :
piece of the sky had been taken to
add more beauty to our nationa
emblem which makes it in truth
the star spangled banner. The
first flag combining thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes, was made in
Philadelphia by Mrs. John Ross

A committee of congress accom
panied by General Washington
called upon Mrs. Ross and engaged
her to make a flag from a drawing
made by himself with a pencil, in
her back parlor. The flag thus
designed was adopted by a reso
lution of congress on the 14th day
of June 1777. Early in 1794 in
consequence of the admission

"Kather," said Tommy, the
other day, "why is it that the
boy is said to be the father of the

Mr. Tompkins had never given
this subject any thought and was

Precious flags yet they're bathed in
tears, they tell of hopes, oftrumphs
of fears of a mother's prayers of
boys away, of a serpent crushed, of
the coming dav. Silently they
peak but the tears will start as we
stand beneath them with throbbing
heart and think of those who are
not forgot. Their flags came home,
why came they no:? Nothing but
flags, yet we held our breath and
gazed with awe at those types of
