We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life.  Many other things we need can wait.  The child cannot.  Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made and his senses are being developed.  To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow.’  His name is ‘Today.’
               - Gabriela Mistral
                  Chilean poet
                  1889 - 1957

Sunday, June 14th, is Flag Day, and the following lyrics are a great reminder of what the stars and stripes mean:

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.
               “You’re a Grand Old Flag,”
                By George M. Cohan
