We Fight for the Flag on Flag Day Speech by Wilson
President Wilson outlines America's war aims in a Flag Day address. He argues the Imperial German Government forced the United States into World War by espionage, sedition, and threats to neutral rights, asserting the need to defend liberty, honor, and a global balance of power. He portrays Germany as a single power with sinister motives and pledges the flag will gain new luster as America stands for justice.
