FLAG DAY SPOKEN PARTS: (Select students)
1. Flag day has its origin in the United States of America. This day is a famous holiday where the citizens show respect and patriotism to the country and participate in several activities. 

2. Flag day is celebrated in the United States on 14 June, originally beginning in 1777. The United States adopted the national flag after the second continental congress approved the red, white, and blue design of the flag. 

3. This day is celebrated to respect nationality and as a remembrance of the Flag resolution of 1777. The people recognize the nation, and the flag represents the people in front of the world.

4.  “To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.”

5.  “A thoughtful mind, when it sees a nation’s flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself.”

6.  “Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”

7. “When we honor our flag, we honor what we stand for as a Nation — freedom, equality, justice, and hope.”

SONG LYRICS:

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND: This land is your land and this land is my land from California to the New York island.  From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters this land was made for you and me. As I went walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway. I saw below me that golden valley. This land was made for you and me. This land is your land and this land is my land from California to the New York island.  From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters this land was made for you and me.

YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG: You’re a grand old flag. You’re a high-flying flag and forever in peace may you wave. You’re the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave. Ev’ry heart beats true for the red, white and blue where there’s never a boast or brag.  But should old acquaintance be forgot, keep your eye on the grand old flag.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER: O say, can you see by the dawn’s early light. What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight. O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

AMERICA:  America, America.  Land of hope and liberty.  Freedom rings from every mountain.  From sea to sea.
