Here in the United States. the Stars and Stripes evoke a great feeling of patriotism among the American people who are reminded by the flag of our Nations traditions. freedoms. and ideals as expressed in the Constitution. Seeing the American flag flying above the U.S. Capitol and homes and businesses in communities throughout our country also is a stirring reminder of those who have devoted their lives to the defense and guidance of our Nation. It is also a sign of welcome to the millions of refugees who have sought shelter here to escape the oppression of their homelands. During my 15 years as a Member of the House of Representatives. I have enjoyed the privilege of having thousands of flags flown over the Capitol for my friends and neighbors in Pinellas County.
