RESOLUTION NO. 82 -99
RESOLUTION HONORING AMERICA FROM FLAG DAY MONDAY, JUNE 14 THROUGH

WHEREAS, the principles that the American Flag stands for were created
by the experience of a great people, said Woodrow Wilson many years ago; and
WHEREAS, the Flag has grown and changed with the nation. Everything
that it represents is reflected in the lives of those who carried it, stood by
it, served under it, or protected because of it; and
WHEREAS, the Flag, as we salute it today, is an emblem that evolved
through various stages, varied designs, and assorted appearances. Again reflecting
the growth and changes of the country, as well as its people; and
WHEREAS, to commemorate the anniversary of its adoption on June 14,
1777, Congress has set aside the 21 days from Flag Day through Independence Day
as a period to honor America; and
WHEREAS, by displaying the national colors during this 21 days salute
to America, we symbolize a united democracy through the badge of freedom and
independence.
III NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that the 21 days, Flag Day through Independence Day, are hereby
proclaimed as a period to honor America in Brooklyn Center, that there be public
gatherings and activities at which the people can celebrate and honor their
country in an appropriate manner.
