- Condoleezza Rice served as the 66th United States Secretary of State said that “the essence of America – that which really unites us – in not ethnicity or nationality or religion – it is an idea – and what an idea it is: that you can come from humble circumstances and do great things”.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the most famous Supreme Court Justices said simply, “One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, one nation evermore”.
- Adrian Cronauer, a former United States Air Force sergeant and radio personality and DJ in Vietnam inspired the 1987 fil Good Morning, Vietnam state, “the American Flag represents all of us and the values we hold sacred”.
