PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROCLAMATION
FOR FLAG DAY OBSERVANCE
My Fellow Counlrymcni
Many dreumstnees have recently conspired ta-turn our thoughts to n
critical examination of tho condition of our national life, of tho influences
which have seemed to threaten to divide us in inUrest nnd sympathy, of
forces within and forces without that seemed likely to draw us away from
tho happy traditions of united purposo nnd action, of which we hare been
so proud.
It hns, therefore, seemed to me fitting that I should call you attention
to the approach of tho anniversary of the day Upon which the flag of tho
United States was adopted by tho Congress as tho emblem of tho Union and
to suggest to you that it can this year and in the years to come be given
special significance as a day of rcnowal and reminder, a day upon which wo
hnvc sought to mko our great Government the embodiment.
I, therefore, suggest nnd request thnt throughout the nation, and If pos
sible in every community, the 14th day of June bo observed as Flag Day
with special patriotic exercises, at which means shnll be taken to give sig
nificant expression to our thoughtful love of America, our comprehension of
the grcnt mission of liberty nnd justice to which wo have dovoted ourselves
as a people, our pride in the history, nnd our enthusiasm for the political
program of the notion, our determination to make it greater nnd purer with
each generation and our resolution to demonstrtc to nil the world its vital
union in sentiment nnd purpose, accepting only those as truo compatriots
who feel as we do the compulsion of this supremo allegiance.
Let us on that day, rcdedicnte ourselves to tho cause of tho nntion, "one
nnd insepernble" from which every thought that is not worthy of our
fnthers' first vows of independence, liberty nnd right shall be excluded and
in which wo shnll stand with united hearts for nn Amorlca which no man can
corrupt, no influence enn draw nwny from its idcnls, no force dlvido ngnlnst
itself, n nntion signally distinguished among all the nations of mankind
for its clear individual conception, nlike, nnd its duties nnd privileges, its
obligtions and rights."
