We identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty, our family, our friends, our home. . .But when we look at our flag and behold it emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties. Every glory that we associate with it is the result of duty done.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Because of what America is and what America has done, a firmer courage, a higher hope, inspires the heart of all humanity.
