The Future of the Flag

This flag, the emblem of justice and government, stands for the just use of undisputed national power. No nation is going to doubt our power to assert its rights. It is henceforth to stand for self-possession, dignity, for the assertion of the right of one nation to serve the other nations of the world - an emblem that will not condescend to be used for purposes of aggression and self-aggrandizement; that it is too great to be debased by-selfishness; that has vindicated its right to be honored by all nations of the world and feared by none who do righteousness. - Woodrow Wilson.
