America, Land Of The Free
And Home Of The Brave
By: Dee Whitt Sharp
ANDREWS - 1 am proud to
be an American Citizen, and to
live in this great Country of
America. Why?
Because at a time when
Communism is trying to take
over the world, to rule with
an iron hand their own ideas
and notions. It is also a time
when we should be putting Into
use the Christian ideas and
principles upon which our
forefathers founded America.
Do we really care about our
American Heritage and Free
dom?
First, let us take a look
at the situation as it exists
here at home.
We ride through town after
town here in Western North
Carolina and never see the
American Flag or the State
Flag rippling in the breeze,
except at the U.S. Post Offices
and Federal Buildings. (There
is one flag at the Primary
School Building at Andrews.)
What about our high schools,
city halls, industrial and man
ufacturing plants, and local
government buildings that do
not display the flag?
Is it that they do not have
a flag pole or flag? Is it
indifference? Is it that they
have never given it a thought?
Or is it that they just don't
care?
To me, there is nothing any
more beautiful and patriotic
than to see the National and
State Flags rippling against
the blue sky, as a colorful
symbol of liberty, freedom,
justice, and glory.
I shall always remember
when I was in the seventh
grade at the Andrews Elem
entary School, about sitting in
the classroom during World
War II, and watch Old Glory
as she would wave back and
forth in the breeze at the Teas
Extract Company.
Then too, I recently talked
with several high school stud
ents from Andrews, and asked
if they ever said the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag in
high school?
"I Pledge Allegiance to the
Flag of the United States of
America and to the Republic
for which it stands,One Nation
under God, Indivisible, with
De Whltt Sharp
Liberty and Justice for All."
The answer I received was
no. I asked, do you ever sing
America, The Star Spangled
Banner, or any of the other
Patriotic Songs in high school?
Again, came the answer, no.
One other question I asked,
was, Do you have the American
Flag on display in any of
your classrooms or in asse
mbly? Answer was, that there
was one, and it was in the
vocational agriculture class
room.
This was indeed a surprise
and a great shock to me, so I
questioned some of the elem
entary school teachers as to
whether they did this in the
lower grades. The answer they
gave was that they never did
hold assembly, and it was up
to each individual teacher to
teach about the flag and Am
erican Patriotism.
Is this same thing happen
ing in all our schools and
colleges across the country?
Have the schools forgotten
what Patriotism is, and what
it means to the youth of our
country? After all, they will
be our future leaders.
If this be true, is there any
wonder that America, this
great country of ours is falling
apart. That college students
are burning their draft cards,
and that anti-war marchers,
demonstrations, and racial
violence is everywhere. Th
ough these youth may be in a
minority group, they are still
helping to tear down the mor
ality, ideas and principles
upon which this country was
founded.
"THE AMERICAN CREED'*
I believe in the United States
of America as a Government
of the people, by the people,
for the people.; whose just
powers are derived from the
consent of the governed; a
democracy in a republic; a
sovereign Nation ofmanysov
erign States; a perfect Union,
one and inseparable ; estab
lished upon thoseprinciples of
freedom, equality, justice, and
humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives
and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my
duty to my country to love it;
to support its Constitition; to
obey its laws; to respect its
flag; and to defend it against
all enemies.
Abraham Lincoln said in his
famous Gettysburg Address,
that this nation, under God
shall have a new birth of
freedom and that government
of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish
from the earth.
Each American Citizen, be
he or she, great or small,
young or old, and especially
veterans should be interested
in our American Heritage. We
should be proud of our fore
fathers who founded America
and for theChristian ideas and
principles in which they belei
ved.
Service men have always
fought, bled, and given their
lives around the Globe for the
cause of American Freedom.
For this same cause, our
armed forces are fighting in
Viet Nam, giving up their
home land, their homes, fam
ilies and friends for you and
me.
Do you appreciate what they
are doing?
Let us not forget, it is al
ways possible that our Free
dom too, can be lost. Comm
unism is on a steady march
to weaken, divide, and des
troy America.
Therefore, I challenge you
as an individual, each and
every school and church
across America to help spark
the fire of Patriotism, to help
keep alive the Christian Ideas
and Principles upon which this
Country was founded, and to
help boost the morality of our
Armed Forces in Viet Nam,
and around the World by help
ing to keep Old Glory waving.
