Room of Honor of the Flags of America
The National Historic Monument to the Flag does itself evoke an almost reverential respect, but I cannot imagine what it must feel like to pass through the doors of the Hall of Honor of American Flags with the verses in my head that I sing more loudly when I hear the Hymn: "MAY THE LAURELES THAT WE OBTAINED BE ETERNAL " and to imagine that others, not us, made it humanly possible, and even impossible, to bequeath our free and sovereign land. Under the Propylaea, and entering via Santa Fe Street, on both sides of a colonnade in the center is a large and impeccable red carpet. You can also see the windows which are displayed in all their glory, the first flags hoisted in Buenos Aires in 1936 and June 20, 1938 when June 20 was established as Flag Day.
