"Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families."
"Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history, the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation."
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
