State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantafi ult
º when its form and use were first author-
===º ized by Congress. The anniversary of
that occasion is a fitting day on which to do
particular honor to this symbol of our national
institutions. I therefore designate Monday, the
fourteenth day of June next, as
3Flag ſlau
and direct that on that day the national colors
be displayed from all public buildings and that
suitable exercises be held in the schools of the
State.
The Flag is the visible emblem of the great-
ness of our country and of the high purposes
which have made it great. It has been the inspi-
ration for useful living and glorious dying. It
has never known defeat or dishonor. In studying
it, we learn much of the history of our own
people; in revering it, we pay just due to the
highest type of civilization and to the heroism
and sacrifice which have made that civilization
possible. Citizenship under such a Flag is surely
a source of pride; we must not lose sight of the
fact that it is also a most solemn responsibility.
HE National Standard of the United States
came into being on June fourteenth, 1777,
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this second day of
June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fiftieth.
>4 ºzºc,
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
