YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG GEORGE M. COHAN (1906) YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG, YOU'RE A HIGH FLYING FLAG, AND FOREVER IN PEACE MAY YOU WAVE. YOU'RE THE EMBLEM OF THE LAND I LOVE, THE HOME OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE. EV'RY HEART BEATS TRUE 'NEATH THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE, WHERE THERE'S NEVER A BOAST OR BRAG BUT SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GRAND OLD FLAG. WE SANG THIS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. DO THEY TODAY? THOSE WHO EXPECT TO REAP THE BLESSINGS OF FREEDOM MUST UNDERGO THE FATIGUE OF SUPPORTING IT. THOMAS PAINE NONE WHO HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FREE CAN UNDERSTAND THE TERRIBLE FASCINATING POWER OF THE HOPE OF FREEDOM TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT FREE. PEARL S. BUCK TOGETHER, LET US BUILD STURDY MANSIONS OF FREEDOM, MANSIONS THAT ALL THE WORLD CAN ADMIRE AND COPY, BUT THAT NO TYRANT CAN EVER ENTER. JOHN F. KENNEDY MEN MAY DIE, BUT THE FABRICS OF OUR FREE INSTITUTIONS REMAIN UNSHAKEN. CHESTER ARTHUR WE, TOO, BORN TO FREEDOM, AND BELIEVING IN FREEDOM, ARE WILLING TO FIGHT TO MAINTAIN FREEDOM. WE, AND ALL OTHERS WHO BELIEVE AS DEEPLY AS WE DO, WOULD RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET THAN LIVE ON OUR KNEES. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT OUR RELIANCE IS IN THE LOVE OF LIBERTY WHICH GOD HAS PLANTED IN US. OUR DEFENSE IS IN THE SPIRIT WHICH PRIZED LIBERTY AS THE HERITAGE OF ALL MEN, IN ALL LANDS, EVERYWHERE. ABRAHAM LINCOLN COMMON SENSE IS SEEING THINGS AS THEY ARE; AND DOING THINGS AS THEY OUGHT TO BE. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE WHERE LIBERTY DWELLS, THERE IS MY COUNTRY. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
