Fly It Proudly!
“If you have a flag fly It
proudly on the Fourth of July,”
is the appeal made to all home*
and businesses by Virgil A.
Tomlinson, Commander of Si
monson Post No. 93 of the
American Legion here.
Commander Tomlinson adds.
“If you don’t own a flag, try to
get one before the Fourth to
make this Independence Day
the biggest mass display of the
nation’s colors ever seen In O'
Neill.’’
He explains that the display
of the flag serves two important
purposes, “First,” he says, “It
offers a simple means for the
adult population to set an ex
ample of patriotic concern for
children and youth. We can’t
expect young people to be very
concerned about their responsi
bilities to the nation if adults
don’t show enough interest to
display the flag.
“Secondly, streets on which
tlie flag flies before every home
or business Ls one way of pre
senting visible evidence of
national unity.”
Although July 4 will be the
second anniversary of the 50
star flag, it is still entirely pro
per and correct to display a 48
or 49-star flag. Commander
Tomlinson stated. “No Ameri
can flag is ever obsolete as long
as it is in serviceable condition.
