Rail against it. spew forth your worst verbal venombut dont physically desecrate that flag or you can wind up in the pokey. where you belong. Mr. Speaker. there is our flag. In this great Chamber. it hangs between portraits of George Washington and the great Frenchman who helped our revolutionary cause. the Marquis de Lafayette. In Lafayettes day. our flag had 13 stars. Over a century later. another Frenchman came to these shores. He was my father. an immigrant. When he first saw our flag. as he arrived in New York Harbor in 1914. it had 48 stars. Today our flag has 50 stars.
