I am the Flag

by Ruth Apperson Rous

I am the flag of the United States of America.

I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.

There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national flag.

My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars in a field of blue, represented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious liberty of mankind.

I downloaded this a few weeks ago. I was going to post a link but apparently the DNC has removed it from their website, I can't find it now. :/

It's CAD and Rockin' New Year's Eve!
Let the frivolity begin!

Gen. Clark autographed books and visited with fans and patrons on Thursday evening (11-8-07) at Wordsworth Books, a small upscale bookstore in the Heights Neighborhood of Little Rock.

As I crossed the parking area and stepped up on the sidewalk, I spied Gen. Clark standing in front of the store talking on his cell
phone. Not wanting to disturb him, I just smiled and waved a bit. He said, "Hello, Sue." What, no "Arky?" I was kidding about my nickname Sir, you can call me Arky anytime. :)

Chat away!
