Famous quotes containing the words green and/or flag:

Playing till too dark to see,
As their fathers watched them once,
As my father once watched me;”

“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
