Our Flag is 154 Years Old
The patriotic citizen will be
reminded that June 14, 1931
marks the 154th anniversary
of the day when the Continent
al Congress passed the resolu
tion officially establishing, as
the emblem of the United
States, a flag “of thirteen
stripes alternate red and
white,” and “that the union be
13 stars white in a blue field
representing a new constella
tion.”
But every patriot will also
look forward to next year,
when Flag Day will take on a
still deeper meaning as one of
the key clays in the ten months’
nation-wide celebration of the
Two Hundredth Anniversary
of the birth of George Wash
ington. According to the plans
of the United States George
Washingon Bicentennial Com
mission, every American, in
every state and city of the
country, will then be encour
aged to honor the flag with
appropriate ceremonies and
with a new devotion, linked as
it is with the life and labors
of George Washington.
Historians may regard as un
supported by fact the story of
Betsy Ross’ stitching the first
American flag, but no one
disputes the fact that the leg
end has become part and par
cel of American folklore. In
any case it is known that
Washington had an intense
personal interest in the crea
tion of a national flag, and
may have had a part of its de
sign. And no one disputes the
fact that he accomplished
more than any other American
in giving the flag a meaning
and in unfurling it over a
strong and united nation. In
1932 it will be the country’s
privilege to render new hon
ors to George Washington’s
memory, and new loyalty to
this immortal symbol of his
greatness.
Meanwhile, this year, it is
; well to recall some of the great
dates in the flag’s history. Its
first display by the Continent
al Army was on August 3,
1777, at Fort Stanwix, the
present city of Rome, N. Y.,
during an attack by the Brit-1
ish. It was first carried into
battle by George Washington’s
troops at Brandywine on Sep
tember 11, 1777. It was first
saluted by British at the sur 1
render at Burgoyne at Sara-,
toga on October 17, 1777.
For the Navy, John Paul
Jones took the first salute to
the Stars and Sripes on Feb
uary 14, 1778, when he sailed
his ship “Ranger” into the
harbor of Quiberon, France. In
the same ship he forced the j
first striking of colors to oui |
I lag by the British ship j
“Drake,” on April 24, 1778.
The ship “Bedford,” of Mass
achusetts carried the first
American flag into a Brit
ish port on February 3, 1783.
It was first carried round the
world by the ship “Columbia,”
failing from Boston in Septem
i ber, 1787. Captain John,
Greene, in the “Empress of |
! China,” had previously taken j
it to China in 1784.
It was first flown in battle j
*in the Pacific by the U. S.
Frigate “Essex”, in 1813. The
t next year Francis Scott Key
wrote the Star Spangled Ban
ner.” In 1818 Congress de
creed that henceforth a new
, star should be added on the
admission of each new state
to the Union; but, before that,
on January 13, 1794, after
Vermont and Kentucky had
been admitted to the Union,
the stars and stripes were in
creased to fifteen. The 1818
Act reduced the stripes to
i thirteen and decreed a new
star for each new State, which
made a jump at once to twen
ty stars.
On April 6, 1909, Admiral
i Peary planted the first Amer- i
ican flag at the North Pole.
Within the last decade, Ad
miral Byrd has carried it to
both Poles.
Wherever it has gone it has
meant achievement and new
honors to our nation. But next
year Old Glory will float over
the achievements of the great
est American of all, the man
who made both the flag and I
the nation that flies it-George
Washington.

‘but I am going to pay it off
