Prayer for America 06/14/06

Flag Day

Our Father, I pray to you today to thank you for "Old Glory." We proudly display the emblem of our country above our rolling lands and shimmering seas. The American flag tells stories of days past. It's a national tribute to all its defenders who lost their lives. Thank you, Lord, for our Star-Spangled Banner. May it forever wave over our nation as a symbol of the free and sign of the brave. Amen.

Break out the flag, strike up the band, light up the sky.
President Gerald R. Ford, National Proclamation, July 1976
