GW and Patrotism on Flag Day

Flag Day is celebrated in the U.S. annually on June 14. The flag
evokes feelings of patriotism in Americans. George Washington
wrote often about patriotism; below is one such communication:

“…it is a maxim with me, that in times of imminent danger to a
Country, every true Patriot should occupy the Post in which he
can render them the most effectually.”
