Happy Birthday

Unfortunately, this is the only flag I'm flying today. I have one which flew over the U.S.S Arizona which I normally display, but on Flag Day I put it out and realized that it has become much too discolored and shabby to be flown. I have sent it to be cleaned, but do not have it back in time to display it today.

Patriotism is too often measured by the pin one wears on his lapel, or the manner in which he decorates the front of his home or office. I know what I wear inside, and I do not need to defend or advertise it.

Happy Birthday, America.
