America's Future Freedom Depends On Educating Young Americans About America's Past
“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”—Thomas Jefferson
The Flags of Freedom Trilogy helps uncover the rich history of America as told by the historic flags that were eyewitnesses of the pivotal acts of Bravery, Courage, Unity, and a people’s Quest for Freedom that shaped the destiny of a new nation.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Ronald Reagan
Every Flag Tells a Story!
You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “If only the walls could talk!” Well, if walls could talk, so might other inanimate objects – like flags! If they could, what do you think flags would say about their lives, the times they lived in, and the lives of the Thinkers, Discoverers, Explorers, Colonizers, Revolutionaries, and Founders that they led as they flew high above the new nation that would one day be born as “The United States of America?“
If you stop to think about it, flags would have enjoyed some pretty good vantage points from which to see and hear everything going on under them and around them, including:
ON LAND: How about the flags carried by the brave flagbearers in the midst of the chaos, smoke, noise, and blood of great battles, who led the way for the brave soldiers who were doing the fighting and dying as their generals sat on their “high horses” behind their troops directing them?
AT SEA: What about the flags that waved on high from the atop the masts of ships of war, wet, stiff, and popping in the breeze above brave American sailors like John Paul Jones aboard his ship the “Serapis?”
OUTDOOR MEETINGS: How about the flags waving lazily in the breeze from the top of “Liberty Poles” high above towns, forts, and battlegrounds where they could both see, and be seen, far into the distance? Wouldn’t they have a wider perspective and point of view of the events going on below them than the people and events they were watching?
INDOOR MEETINGS: And what about those flags that hung indoors, immobile, on the walls of buildings such as Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia where the first and second Continental Congresses met, or from the balconies above the many taverns, meetinghouses, and churches where important men and women were making even more important decisions about the future of our country?
