Oh hell, you've got Stone-Head Wilson and Ziggy Roosevelt, so here's a couple from the Big Man who came in between. At Terrell, TX, in 1909, the President spoke to a group of children.
"I am very glad to see the children here this Sunday morning. I am glad to see them with their flags. You know what the flags are, my children?"To a Missisippi audience Taft said,
"Yes, Sir. The flag of the United States."
"Do you know the flag of Texas?"
"Yes Sir."
"What is it?"
"The lone star."
"Are you loyal to both flags?"
"Yes, Sir"
"I bet you are. Now, my children, do you know who I am?"
"Yes, Sir." "President Taft"
One of your great heroes of Mississippi is Jefferson Davis, and I am glad that the Administration at Washington has wiped out the evidence of that extreme partisan bitterness at Cabin John Bridge, and that his name is restored here as Secretary of War. I am glad because I can testify fom my experience in the South that the same joy that they experienced at that act on the part of the Administration is the joy of a common country and loyalty to a common flag"
P.S. I know a few of the quotes on the flag were by people less than reputable, but a good word about the flag is still a good word about the flag.
