State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR

|O know the meaning of our flag, and the origin
|of its adoption, is to know much of the early his-
Fitory of our country. To love the flag, and to
lºsº/honor it, is to love and honor those things which
have made us a great nation. It is fitting that on one day
at least we pay particular honor to this symbol of our
national institutions. I therefore designate Thursday, the
fourteenth day of June next, as - -
and I urge its observance by a display of the national colors
from all public buildings, and wherever possible, and that
suitable exercises be held in the schools, and by such other
appropriate means as will suggest themselves. The flag’s
worth as an education in Our past glories is not more than
its value as a test, showing the path to future opportunity.
As our heritage was not lightly won, so it is not easily to
be maintained. Consider it not as a relic of ancient valor,
but rather as an inspiration to continued vitality. We
do most honor to the flag and to ourselves by the faith
and veneration expressed in loyal service. -
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twenty-second day
of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-second. w -

Secretary.
