Lamberts address entitled "Our American FlagBeacon of Hope" follows: My fellow Americans. heraldry Is as old as the human race. The carrying of banners has been the habit of both the barbarian and the civilized in all ages. Before we became a nation. our land knew many flags. Columbus carried a Spanish flag across the seas. The Pilgrims carried the flag of England. Native Indian tribes had their totems and other Insignia. Immigrants of every nationality and race. in seeking a new allegiance. brought their symbols of loyalty to our shores. During the period of our growth. we have embraced parts of the banners of many countries. At once. the U.S. flag is a historya declarationand a prophecy.
