LEADER: Behold the emblem of our country...the greatest flag of the greatest nation in the world. May it ever wave over free and liberty-loving people. May it ever represent the highest ideas of American boyhood and manhood. May its stars and stripes, blessed by God and glorified by the blood of our patriots, ever support the principles of democracy in America and around the world.
