Political Quotes

“It unifies our soldiers in the midst of battle and provides the direction and morale they need to protect our freedom. It unifies our citizens in times of trouble and gives us reason to reflect on and celebrate our freedom. It is our American flag and for these reasons and more it is a symbol--perhaps the ultimate symbol--of our freedom. That freedom has not come easily and has not always grown peacefully, but throughout 200 years of history, our flag has always held the value and meaning of the United States and continues to command respect and admiration around the world. Freedom is America's greatest and most recognized attribute. It is symbolized by our flag and evident in the way our flag is treated and handled. If we afford our flag our deepest respect, we are cherishing our freedom and praising our nation. When we fail to recognize the significance of our flag, we will fail to recognize the significance not only of our freedom, but also of the potential for freedom around the world. Let us recognize the thoughtful objections of our opponents and their concern for such an amendment offending the first amendment freedoms. We note that protecting the flag--the symbol of our country--truly protects and respects all our freedoms. We can not take our freedom for granted. We must teach our children and our future leaders the importance of our freedom and the American flag. Millions of soldiers have fought for our flag and for all that it symbolizes.”
