Thanking my Lucky Stars and Stripes {Part 2}



The whole inspiration of our life as a nation flows out from the waving folds of this banner.
~ Author Unknown




We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity, representing our liberty.
~ attributed to George Washington



I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation.  My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors.  They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith, because you have made them so out of your heart.  For you are the makers of the flag and it is well that you glory in the making.  ~ Franklin Knight Lane
