What Our Flag Means To Me iWuiiin hy Clint Krobs for the Americanism Contest li.nun.ii.ocl hy Mrs. Car Swanson and sKinsorod by the lone An. i in. hi Legion Auxiliary, 1970 winner In the senior dhls ii ii I. On the door f my room is a (local replica of the Amer iii.n I l.i k. It i.s menu! to hay to anyone who enters that the p-isoii n. side is iroud to be an American, that he is proud of that and that he is willing to light, if necessary, to keep it tlnie. You see, the flag icminds me of World War I and my Granddad. A bullet wound in his back from that war has made pain his rwistunt companion. Mo never rises from a chair, tides In a car or lifts an object but what he Is reminded of his idle In that war. lie loves this country and thinks its Hag Is worth defending. I must do likewise. The flag reminds me of World War II and my Dad. A i.nsty ugly scar on the upper part of his arm causiil by a Japanese bullet Is hLs reminder that he was Involved in a conflict that threatened our country. He speaks only of loy ally. Am I not obliged to do the same? Is not man a part i l his heritage. The flag reminds me of President Kennedy. I recall watching on television the flag-draped coffin being pulled by white horses down Pennsylvania Avenue. I remember the lag folding ceremony and the flag being handed to his w iilow. The flag reminds me of my neighbor in Montana who died in Vietnam. He was a kid, eighteen years old, who was ruing to be a cattle rancher when he got out of the service. He returned home In a box covered by the flag he loved enough to die or. The flag reminds me of a decision I was asked to make a year ago. I was asked what I would do if I were ever drafted. It was a decision I would not have to make for three years but I had some feelings I could not suppress. The thought of running to Canada sickened me. The thought of pledging loyalty to anyone or anything but Amer lea was not possible. I could never stand to hear "The Star Spangled Banner" played without rising. I could never watch with indifference when "Old Glory" was displayed. I knew I could never be anything but an American. I would Just have to assume all the obligations of being an American. Men have died and been wounded to keep America the best country on this planet. I definitely want to be a part of it. We will just have to work harder to correct the wrongs, recuiy tne mistaKes and strengthen its weaknesses. We will have to work for changes within the system, not change the system. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and I do so with pride in my heart, sincerity on my lips and full knowledge in my mind that freedom is not always free. That is what our flag means to me. lu-ur Kihtoi: Mention to !hl yrnr'a lwth Who i.VN "Animal have no birthday. L-C E't "Hot- Sever wnw nf Iih Iii)!:-:!'' I vr wt'ii tnlnwn tl the TONIUHT T.V.
