Honor lhat rlag
This is one of Kodiak’s greatest days. For many years
everyone has turned out to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Even though Alaskans consider themselves “step children of
Uncle Sam” (because of operating under Territorial status
and being denied statehood) they all keenly feel and enjoy
the distinction of living under the greatest flag in the world. ;
While we celebrate the fourth, with outings, picnics,!
parade and races for kids, we should seriously consider for a
few moments the great determination and courage of our
forefathers. Those farsighted and courageous men, by their;
declaration of independence, started the move that now gives!
the United States the freedom so few nations now have. 1
This may be termed “flag waving”, and it is, but we
as Americans should demonstrate our belief in our dndepen-1
dence and strive to keep our precious heritage of freedom.
