Judge Roy Moore writes and excellant column on why we should celebrate Flag Day. He hits on how MANY people in our country have forgotten the true meaning of what our Flag represents.
From World Net Daily --
On June 14, our country will officially celebrate Flag Day, a time to reflect on our flag and "the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The Continental Congress commissioned the creation of an official flag for our new nation June 14, 1777, almost a year after we declared independence from Great Britain.
In our cynical, indulgent and self-centered society where virtue and morality are all but forgotten, we take our blessings for granted and use our cherished flag for silly protests, crass commercialism and promotion of immorality. But tomorrow as we celebrate Flag Day, let us instead dwell on what the flag really means.
Recall those brave young men who in 1945 raised the flag on the island of Iwo Jima.... inspiring others to continue to fight. Remember the flag planted on the moon in 1969......
......who can forget the solitary flag at Ground Zero that stood amidst utter disaster, demonstrating our unity and perseverance in times of great sorrow. Let us return the "Red, White and Blue" to its rightful place as the grand symbol of an extraordinary country blessed by God. More....
God Bless America
