On this Flag Day, let us remember the flag is a symbol–a blend of colors and images representing the majesty of the American republic and the fertility of freedom. Let us remember that we can love an imperfect nation, that our flag represents a nation forever striving and yearning, and that the spirit of America is not found on fabric but in the souls of its citizens.
I have two daughters. Both are beautiful and brilliant. Both are lovely human beings. And because they are my own children, neither of them will ever read this column.
