State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
EVERETT J. LAKE
GOVERNOR
rurlantatin it
tº N compliance with an act of the General Assembly
l I hereby designate Tuesday, the fourteenth day
of June of the present year, being the one hundred
and forty-fourth anniversary of the adoption by
Congress of the flag of the United States as
3Flag ſlag
and direct that all who are engaged in training the youth of
this State for intelligent citizenship and in promoting activities
which make for a broader and saner patriotism, either in the
schools or through any society or organization, plan suitable
exercises for impressing upon the minds of those who come
under their influence the benefits and privileges which they
enjoy under the American flag, and the obligation which
rests upon them to perpetuate the ideals and institutions of
which it is the symbol. The American flag stands for freedom
and for truth. It represents a government which guarantees
equal rights to all. It means justice. It means liberty. It
means happiness. Our flag signifies liberty through law, and
laws for liberty. “No man can stand beneath its folds with-
out becoming and remaining free.” I ask also that the people
of the State join upon that day in its general display and
thus show their honor and respect for the flag and their
loyalty to the principles for which it stands.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this
twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine
hundred and twenty-One, and of the independence of the United States, the
one hundred and forty-fifth.
By His Excellency's Command :
sº (0aa-za
Secretary.
