"Other nations may deem their flags the best and cheer them with fervid elation, but the flag of the north and south and west is the flag of flags, the flag of freedom's nation. Hurrah for the flag of the free, may it wave as our standard forever! The gem of the land and the sea, the banner of the right. Let despots remember the day when our fathers with mighty endeavor, proclaimed as they marched to the fray, that by their might and by their right, it waves forever."
