Quotations contain the wisdom of the ages, and are a great source of inspiration for Cubmaster’s minutes, material for an advancement ceremony or an insightful addition to a Pack Meeting program cover

FLAG QUOTES
The whole inspiration of our life as a nation flows out from the waving folds of this banner. Author Unknown
If anyone, then, asks me the meaning of our flag, I say to him - it means just what Concord and Lexington meant; what Bunker Hill meant; which was, in short, the rising up of a valiant young people against an old tyranny to establish the most momentous doctrine that the world had ever known - the right of men to their own selves and to their liberties. Henry Ward Beecher
I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and my stripes are your dream and your labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith, because you have made them so out of your heart. For you are the makers of the flag and it is well that you glory in the making. Franklin Knight Lane
Cheers for the sailors that fought on the wave for it,
Cheers for the soldiers that always were brave for it,
Tears for the men that went down to the grave for it,
Here comes the flag! Arthur Macy, The Flag
It is the flag just as much of the man who was naturalized yesterday as of the men whose people have been here many generations. Henry Cabot Lodge
That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upwards. It is the full-grown flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom. Alvin Owsley
We take the stars from heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity, representing our liberty.
George Washington, attributed
Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
John Philip Sousa
The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history. Woodrow Wilson
BIOGRAPHY An Example of Loaylty -
My Den Mother (and my Mother)
NOTE: I am not writing this boast about my Mom
but to hopefully inspire you to find examples of loayalty in your families and talk about them to
your Cubs. Personal stories are always more
powerful than canned stories. CD
(December 8, 1926 - April 17, 2011)
Ruth H. Lyons, 84, of Middletown, DE and formerly of Washington Township, Bergen County, NJ, passed away on Sunday, April 17, 2011 at Christiana Hospital in Newark, DE. Born on December 8, 1926 in Brooklyn, NY, she was the only child of the late Cord F. and Ottilie (Weiss) Kuhlmann.
Ruth graduated from W.C. Mepham High School in Bellmore, NY, Class of 1944. She enjoyed being a loyal spouse and homemaker and throughout her life loved being loyally involved in her two sons' activities. She was a long time Cub Scout Den Mother, Den Mother Coach, Roundtable Commissioner, and Cub Scout Trainer (I have her 1960's syllabus) with the Boy Scouts and a Little League team mother. She used to amaze my dad that wherever they went, she knew all these men. This was unusual in the 60's. She knew them all from roundtable.
She was loyal to my brother Bill and me, making sure we were confirmed at Zion Lutheran, whose confirmation class was known as "West Point of Lutheran (Mo. Synod) Confirmation classes, earned our Arrow of Light and Eagle Scout awards, and graduated from High School. And that we knew what was right and wrong. And always recognized we were different from each other. The old saying goes, Dave is right-handed and Billy is left-handed. After that, similarities end.
While living in New Jersey, she was an loyal devoted member of Zion Lutheran Church in Westwood, NJ. Following her move to Delaware, she became actively involved with Faith Lutheran Church in Bear, DE. She would manually type the Zion Times, then count spaces and manually justify it. And then retype the whole thing.
She was an active member of the Blue Knights Motorcycle Club New Jersey One with her husband, Bill. Following his death, she remained loayl to the organization continuing to volunteer at their events.
Ruth was an active member of the Jean Birch MOT Senior Center, where she and her husband started the first MOT Senior Center bowling league. As a member of the Senior Center she enjoyed teaching crocheting and in 2009 at the age of 82 was proud to have been the recipient of a blue ribbon at the Delaware State Fair for one of her prize crocheting pieces. She completed poster size crochet pieces of the Lord's Prayer, the 23rd Psalm, and the Last Supper and donated them to her and her sons' churches.
Ruth and her husband were avid travelers and together enjoyed visiting all 50 states and taking a cruise through the Panama Canal. She took pride that at age 67 she received the first motorized trike driver's license issued to a female in Delaware.
They (both parents) were loyal to their family. Bill and I are the only two of our cousins that know all the others. And they were generous with those in need. Helping as they could even though Dad was a police officer and they were not well paid at that time. Ruth completed a family tree of her husband's family starting with his parents and including all 9 of his siblings and their children and grandchildren. After his death, she maintained this and became the honorary matriarch of the family. All the cousins would let her know what changes were occurring. And they would visit when they could. (Being an only child, she had a desire to marry into a large family. She used to kid that any person she dated who had two or less siblings, somehow never got a second date). She attended all the high school and college graduations, Eagle ceremonies, and marriages of her grandchildren and any of the other Lyons family members to which she was invited. Billy and I drove her to many of these.
She is interred with her husband at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Bear, DE.
