We believe that the American flag is the most
beautiful and the most significant of all the flags of all
the nations of the earth. June 14, 1913, is the 136th
birthday of our flag. The story of the stars and
stripes is the story of a great and mighty people. It
symbolizes “ſife, liberty, and the pursuit of human
happiness,” the fundamental elements of a great
brotherhood. Let the people of Michigan on Satur-
day, June 14th, display this sacred emblem on all
state, municipal and school buildings; let American
citizens conduct such exercises as will encourage our
youth to love and reverence the flag and what it
symbolizes.
(Ulperefure, I, Woodbridge N. Ferris, Governor of
Michigan, do issue this proclamation and enthusiasti-
cally urge the observance of Saturday, the fourteenth
of June, 1913, as Flag Day.
(Bittent under my hand and the Great
Seaſ of the State, this twenty-first
day of May, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred
and thirteen and of the Common-
wealth the Seventy-seventh.
