Veterans of America Honor Guard

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Flag Day - June 14th

The National Flag represents the living country and is considered to be a living thing emblematic of the respect and pride we have for our nation. The National Emblem is a symbol of our great country, our heritage and our place in the world. We owe reverence and respect to our flag. It represents the highest ideals of individual liberty, justice and equality for all. The American Flag is our nations highest honor when draped over the casket of a deceased veteran and presented to the next of kin. Old Glory always shines brightly, it acquires it’s brilliance from American Veterans who have fought and died to preserve it. Our Flag is not a rag to be desecrated or blown up over federal buildings. Our Flag holds more hope for this world than any other national banner. Our American Flag is a precious possession. Display it proudly. Not only on June 14, Flag Day, but all year long.

The Flag should be displayed on all days, especially . . . .

Editorial: Desecrating a Flag under it’s Protection - A Sick Act

No, not one. Not any person living in these United States of America under the protection of our flag and what it stands for, absolutely no one should have a right to desecrate an American flag. The supreme court should not rule that the American flag can be desecrated as it is not the will of the people. The supreme court should never make rulings that are against the will of the people as we are a nation of the people by the people and for the people. Desecrating an American flag is certainly not freedom of speech. The reason the Murrah building was bombed was because an American flag was flying over it. That is not freedom of speech, ask the families of the victims. Our American flag was pulled from the rubble tattered and torn and hoisted back up over the ruins. Our flag still flies proudly in Oklahoma. More than 35,000,000 Americans have carried our flag into battle and over 1,000,000 Americans have died on battlefields to preserve our flag and what it represents. Desecrating our flag is a sick act for anyone who claims to be an American. Anyone wishing to desecrate or burn our American flag should go to Iran or Iraq to do so and not desecrate our flag while living under it's protection. Anyone needing help on this matter should memorize the Gettysburg Address and recite it out loud in public or just memorize this part of it.
"- - - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
