State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
rur lantafin it
|HE Flag of a Nation, symbolizing its power, its
|pride and its standards, has always made a strong
as appeal to popular imagination. Whether held
lºº/high in battle or floating over some humble
schoolhouse, it has its place as a visible reminder of all
that one holds most dear. It has stirred men to great
deeds, and it has given meaning and inspiration to the
smallest and least spectacular obligation of every citizen.
Recognizing that this appeal is common to all of us, the
General Assembly has made it the duty and the privilege
of the Governor to dedicate one day in the year to the
particular honor of the Flag of the United States and that
for which it stands.
I therefore designate Tuesday, the fourteenth day
of June next, as
3flag flag
and I urge its observance by a display of the national
colors wherever possible, by suitable exercises in the
schools, and by such other appropriate means as will
suggest themselves.
To know the meaning of Our Flag, and the origin of
its adoption, is to know much of the early history of our
country. To love the Flag, and to honor it, is to love
and honor those things which have made us a great
nation. And only as we uphold it and work for it, are
we assured of continued growth and unimpaired ideals.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twenty-sixth day
£ººl of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven and of the
a-F y independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-first. s
>4 ºzºc,
By His Excellency’s Command:
~£222*
Secretary.
