Oak Island Elks Lodge representative Tom Vernon (right) and South
Brunswick Middle School teacher Paula Clemmons congratulate win
ners of the Elks Lodge “Americanism” essay contest First-place Winner
Imone Clemmons of Southport won a $75 U. S. Savings Bond and sec
ond-place winner Cody Knox of Bolivia a $50 bond. Both winners are
competing at the district level.
Elks’ ‘Americanism’
essay contest judged
Imone Clemmons of Southport submitted the following winning essay in
this year’s Oak Island Elks Lodge “Americanism” essay contest:
The American Flag Protection Amendment
A Right of the People, The Right Thing To Do
The American flag means a lot to me. It stands for freedom, peace,
power, love and justice. Freedom is most important because it has changed
the world tremendously and has a great effect on our lives. People like
Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Abe Lincoln have contributed a great
deal to freedom. The reason I say freedom is most important to me, as
.African-Americans we have come a long way from not being free, to
becoming free.
The second most important is love. The people who were slaves have
shown a great amount of love, compassion and forgiveness because they
cared so much. We no longer have to be segregated or treated differently
because of the color of our skin. I think anyone who wants to bum the flag
should be punished. Burning the flag shows disrespect and ungratefulness
for the changes the slaves have made.
If you Care anything about our country you should do all you can to treat
the flag with great respect, and approve 100 percent of the amendment. I
would never do anything to disrespect the flag, because I think it’s very
dumb. It represents and means too much for me to do something like that.
Therefore, I think they should enforce the Flag Protection Amendment in
the United States.
