Our Country's Flag In Story Picture and Song
A speaker at the Daughters of the American Revolution in Freeport discusses the flag’s history and symbolism. He links the flag to biblical and heraldic origins, tracing from Jacob’s coat to the Union Jack and America's stars and stripes, and invites readers to imagine a global voyage tracing the flag’s meaning through ancient and modern eras. The piece cites Betsey Ross, Washington, and Mount Davidson as part of the tale of national identity.
