HUGUENOT SALUTE TO THE UNITED STATES FLAG

 

Flag of the United States we salute thee.

 

In thy red, we shall ever see the blood of our Huguenot fathers and mothers, which was so gloriously shed for thee.

 

In thy white, we shall ever see blended the choicest lilies of France, fragrant with purity and devotion to God.

 

And thy blue shall speak of the unswerving character and purpose of the Huguenot.

 

In the name of our fathers’ God and our God, we pledge anew our allegiance to thee.

 

May God keep us steadfast, as He kept them steadfast, and in joy or in sorrow, may we know, as they knew, that underneath are the Everlasting Arms.

 

SALUTE TO THE HUGUENOT FLAG

 

I salute the Huguenot Flag, emblem of the high courage and abiding faith of our ancestors, whose memory is a light unto our feet a chart to enrich our lives and a heritage to cherish in our hearts.
