Our beautiful flag is a symbol of Government. The nation
is our first home. Without it there can be no domestic peace and
safety, no moral advance, no material prosperity, no order. Every
person who raises an arm in labor or defense has a stake in the
country and the flag is for all in every walk of life. It is glorious
to die for it and it is most meaningful to live for it. To respect it is
to respect self, for it stands for that of which all are a part. Each
day and month and year every citizen should consecrate himself anew
to such deportment as will hallow the history of our flag and
contribute to its emblematic splendor today and tomorrow.
Therefore, I, Chase S. Osborn, Governor of the Commonwealth
of Michigan, do issue this proclamation and earnestly urge the ob-
servance of Friday, the fourteenth day of June, 1912, as Flag Day.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
the State, this seventh day of June, in
the year of Our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and twelve, and of the Common-
wealth the seventy-sixth.
By the Governor: - Governor.
