The eighth fold is a tribute to
the one who entered into the valley
of the shadow of death, that we
might see the light of day, and
to honor our mother, for whom it flies
on Mother's Day.
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood,
for it has been through their faith,
love, loyalty and devotion that the character
of the men and women who have
made this country great have been molded.
The tenth fold is a tribute to father,
for he, too, has given his sons and
daughters for the defense of our country
since he or she was first born.
The eleventh fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and
glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father,
the Son and Holy Ghost.
When the flag is completely folded,
the stars are uppermost, reminding us
of our national motto, "In God We Trust."
Happy 4th of July!
