THE MILL CITY ENETRPRISE TUI RSI)\Y, M KY 27. l’«~. I
Never
bowed my head reverently with the rest of my classmales during
the "moment of silence” in tribute to our soldier dead, then see­
ing Old Glory waving from the flag pole on the lawn of our Alma
Mater, I stood tiptoe upon a dream and thought, "What a lucky
girl you are to be born under that flag, for you can be what you will
to be! You are an American."
Then a strange thing happened. The flag seemed to be a living
thing with a soul. I heard the silent singing of its stars on its blue
of truth, and listening, iny soul caught this refrain:
"I am the symbol ci America, and America is more than its hills
and prairies with their herds and fields of grain: more than its pulsing
cities, its mines and its mills . . . America is you and you and you
... and God.
"I am the symbol of tln^J*. n ■ • the churches, schools, enterprises,
and the kingly commoners of America.
"I repr'- nt your heritage from the past. Look at me and hear the
tramping ot soldier feet in the immortal march for freedom; feel
within your hearts the ’Spirit of 76’; see the footprints in the snow at.
Valley Forge; the great, gaunt commoner on his knees in prayer, and
the crimson tain, spreading, that meant life was ebbing from his
great heart; see the crosses above our youth, martyrs to freedom in
recent wars. Look again and behold lilies blooming where men gave
life for m in; listen and hear the joyous dancing footsteps of those
yet unborn.
”E -ho'd the Open Gate, before which stand weary pilgrims: chil­
dren with eyes empty of laughter; youth burdened with the weight
of dead dr ani.i; the elder ones tlieii eyes but burned out embers,
their bon -i n 1 >nds cares .’ing gaunt throats that too long have felt
the choking lea th of fear. See their eyes relight with hope as they
view the gr. n acr j of democracy and reverently enter the gate of
America.”
Suddenly I knew: Th* flag is an emblem of freedom, protection,
justice, honor, sacr' ice, opportunity to all and love for country,
fellowm m and God It is the symbol, not only of our heritage from
th" past bi t of the future. I knt’U that it is up to me to help America
continue to mean to coming generations what it means to me today;
that every right has its concomitant duty, that I must train myself
to lie able to choose leaders wisely and judge their performance with
honesty and understanding. I must fight oppression, intolerance, in­
justice and keep the land free of the footprints of communism. I must
guard the rights of others as jealously as 1 do my own, and recognize
in every man a brother.
Again I looked at the flag waving serenely beneath our peaceful
country sky and reverently 1 breathed, "How much you stand for!"
Was I dreaming or did I hear, "The earth a great DEMOCRACY
OF LOVE!"
