THIS YEAR MARKS the 56th anniversary of the Act of Congress proclaiming June 14 as National Flag Day. Citizens across this country will pause to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag on this day, including members of the WPA.

You may ask, "why should I observe Flag Day?" Quite simply, our flag is more than a patchwork of cloth. It is the silent sentinel of our freedom. It is a constant reminder of the courage required to maintain our freedom, the liberty we enjoy in being self-governed, and the loyalty and trust which unites us despite our individual differences.

WE'RE INTRODUCING a new regular feature to our magazine this month: "Branch Happenings." This new feature, found on Page 15, offers a quick and easy reference to most of the activities our branches are planning for the coming months.

Here, you will find the "who, what, when and where" about parties, picnics, dinners, trips and other events. You'll also find information about activities and events in your community in which branch members

On this National Flag Day, we encourage you to talk to your children, grandchildren or friends about what the flag means to you.

Because others have given their fortunes and their very lives to secure our freedom, we have the freedom not to participate in this national observance.

However, it is good that we pause to honor our nation's flag, for this act helps remind each of us that we are most blessed to be one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

And that, fellow citizens, is something worth celebrating.

will participate, such as events being sponsored by a local church or charitable organization.

To include your activities in "Branch Happenings," send us the date, time and location of the activity, information on any costs or fees and the name and phone number of who to contact for more information.
