Notes: "© [Artist's monogram] 1917" ; "Issued by National Americanization Committee, 29 West 39th St., City of New York / Painted and Published by Ray Greenleaf, New York / All rights reserved." ; With poem "The Flag Speaks" by Franklin K. Lane: "I am whatever you make me nothing more. / But always, I am all that you hope to be, / and have the courage to try for. / I am song and fear, struggle and panic, and / ennobling hope. / I am the day's work of the weakest man, / and the largest dream of the most daring. / I am the constitution and the courts, / statutes and the statute makers, soldier and / dreadnaught, drayman and street sweep, / cook, counselor and clerk. / I am no more than what you believe me to be. / My stars and my stripes are your dream / and your labors. / For you are the makers of / the flag and it is well that you glory in the making."
