"A star for every state, and a State for every star." --Robert C. Winthrop

"I want the people of all the earth to see in the American flag the symbol of a Government which intends no oppression at home and no aggression abroad, which in the spirit of a common brotherhood provides assistance in time of distress." --Calvin Coolidge

Who could say it better than these great men? I know I can't.
