Flag Day

Crossposted at Disabled Americans for Democracy

On this day, we pause to consider the history and symbolism of our national flag.

Having lived abroad, I know that few sights are more stirring or emotional than that of the Stars and Stripes flying proudly against a foreign sky. To me, the Flag represents all that is best and noblest in human nature, the great experiment in democracy that is the United States.

In this time of war, political corruption and, for so many, economic uncertainty and hardship, please join me in praying and working for the restoration of the republic for which our flag stands to its guiding principles of equality, oppeertunity, liberty, and justice for all.
