I find it difficult to find words adequate to thank you for all
of your kindness during my recent trip to Pittsburgh. It was
for me both a memorable and pleasant occasion. Things could not
have been organized better. I am also most grateful for your
kindness in sending me the tapings of the interview and of the
talk.
A s I told you,we do not have a public relations program and
do not seek invitations but if you or any of the World Affairs
Council think it of interest for me to speak, I would be glad to
try and do so.
Again, many thanks and every good wish to you and yours for
Christmas and New Years. My best also to Mr. Clementis.
Faithfully,

If I were to comment objectively on the effectiveness of your
visit to Pittsburgh I would still be searching for the most
appropriate superlatives to use. Suffice it to say that both
Ray Coleman at WTAE-Radio and George Cahill at the Flag Plaza
have expressed to me their gratitude for bringing such a pres-
tigious and highly-intelligent person to their organizations.
As for the Luncheon Discussion Group members, their two sus-
tained applauses indicated what they thought of your talk as
well as your answers to their questions and many of them have
since commented that you were the best speaker of this year's
program.
It was a real delight having you as our guest, and your message
is one that all Americans ought to hear. if you wish, I would
gladly write to several of my colleagues among the more promi-
nent World Affairs Councils across the country suggesting you
as a good speaker for their programs.
Recordings of your radio interview and luncheon talk are being
sent to you today.
With renewed thanks and best wishes for the holiday season.

My-dear General:
What a stalwart you are!
Thank you for your letter of December 17. We will use your statement
and your photograph in an early issue of the STANDARD.
.We are all looking forward to your next visit to Pittsburgh.
I'm delighted to know that you are pleased with the Flag Chart and that
it is hanging in your office.
It was particularly kind.of you to indicate an interest in trying to
find the haunting "tattoo" rendition. I.went back to my notes. I am told that the
musician is a Ninei Rosso, although I'm not certain that the spelling is-correct of
either the first or the last name. I first heard the recording while at the Dorint
Hotel at Lahnstein. It was played over a loudspeaking system at 9 or 10 o'clock at
night over an open park-like setting to call residents of a hospital for the Aged
and Infirm in for the evening. It is a magnificent thing, and I would like very
much to obtain a copy of it. I appreciate your interest.
Best personal regards.
Cordially and sincerely,
George F. Cahill

It is difficult for me to tell you how deeply
impressed I was by my visit to Flag Plaza and how
grateful I am for that magnificent framed Flag Chart
you so kindly gave me. It is hanging proudly in my
office for all my visitors, American and foreign,
to see.
I amn enclosing Sun Tzu's maxims on how to undo
ones enemies, and I enclose also a statement for
publication in THE STANDARD.
You have my promise that the next time I go to
Pittsburgh I will certainly set aside the time to
call on Mrs. Lehman and tell her as an American how
gratefulI am for what she and her husband have done
to keep burning brightly the flame of love of our
country in the hearts of young Americans.
Mr. George F. Cahill
On my next trip to Germany I will see what I
can do about the trumpets record.
With every good wish to you and yours for a
Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My visit to Flag Plaza will always remain with me
as a deeply moving experience. It is a real expression
of the feeling many of us have for America and yet find
difficult to express.
The flags, the building, the magnificent mural by
Milton Caniff, convey the enthusiasm and dedication of
all those who have gone before us and who have done so
much to make us great and free, and beyond that --- a
Beacon of Hope for All Mankind.
To those who made Flag Plaza possible, and to those
who tend it with loving care in these difficult times, we
all owe a debt of gratitude.
A poet once said,
"It is not difficult in good times to carry
the Flag forward before the proud ranks.
"Only when the storm blows and the Flag is in
tatters do the weak and empty fall by the roadside.
"The true and the loyal show themselves as
such."
Too few of our young people are exposed to the
experience I felt at Flag Plaza.
Thank you.

It was a real delight to have you visit Flag Plaza, sir. Your
very quick grasp of our program and your penetrating observa-
tions and questions with regard to the Flag scenes were stimu-
lating, indeed, and, I assure you, constituted a unique response
among all of those who have visited Flag Plaza.
It was an honor to have you here, sir. I am enclosing a copy of
our triannual publication--THE STANDARD. I think you will enjoy
the rationale for its name. I have circled reference to that in
the June 14, 1970, issue.
General, would you please do me a couple of favors. Please have
somebody send me either reference to or the quote from The Thir-
teen Rules for Conquering a People written 2500 years ago by a
Chinaman. I'd love to have the source and the list, and will be
happy to go get it if you will give me the point of reference; or
if you have it somewhere in your files, and somebody could make
a copy of it and send it to me, I would be most appreciative.
Secondly, would you consider giving us a statement for publica-
tion in the Flag Plaza STANDARD? While here you made a couple of
statements--at one time, you said that young people don't get
enough of this sort of thing in America today--in another instance,
you referred to the fact that young people in America need more of
this sort of thing--and at another time you indicated that it was
a unique facility and mission, unlike any that you have seen else-
where. We'll be printing a picture of you in the STANDARD, if we
may have your permission, and we would like very much to include
a statement from you. If you would be willing to give us anything
which we may quote concerning your reaction to Flag Plaza and,

most hopefully, that poem that you quoted about the German
Flag-bearer--if there is any way in which that can be con-
verted to a statement that you'd be willing to incorporate in
a letter and/or permit us to quote, I would be most appreciative.
It was great--I had never heard it before.
The next time you come to Pittsburgh, please include an extra
hour in your schedule and let me have the distinct privilege
of taking you to Mrs. Lehman's home, which is not very far,
in order that you might meet the 86-year old "teen-ager" that
I told you about. You would enjoy her immensely and vice versa.
We are honored that George Mitchell asked you to include Flag
Plaza in your Pittsburgh itinerary and that he brought you to
visit. Meeting you, sir, and being infected by your enthusiasm
and your positive orientation was a delight. I hope our paths
cross again soon and often.
Thank you for visiting Flag Plaza and for the distinguished
service you render our America.
A cordial salute!

P.S. Incidentally, the German trumpeter who cut the record
for the most beautiful tattoo I have ever heard is the
most haunting bugle call I have ever heard. It brings
men, women, and children to an instant half and brace,
and draws their breath away and holds it until he finishes
tattoo. I understand he is dead and that it is an old
record, but if you have anyone in Germany who would by
any chance know how to acquire one of those records or a
tape of it, I would be profoundly appreciative and you
would love it if you have not heard it.

that there is no more natural sway of stimulating in-

brtting their bicentennials now and others will be

On June 1, 17 77, the Continental Congress re-
solved 'that the flat of the thirteen United States he
thirteen stripes alternating red and white; that the
Union he thu teen stars, white in a blue field, repre-

Congress in ;his first flag resulution did not specify

Two hundred years ago-in the fill] of 1775,
George Washington outfitted a squadron of six
schooners at his own expense for use in the
coastal waters off the Colonies. His secretary, in
writing to the agents preparing the cruisers, sug-
gested they use this flag, which was then flying
over the floating batteries. The Massachusetts
naval forces later adopted and used the flag.
Appropriately, this October issue features a
beautiful flag and its history as a reminder of
the staunch dedication and commitment of our
Nation's Founding Fathers.

Army Comptroller Sewed Flag
GENERAL JOHN M. WRIGHT, JR., now
of Washington, D. C., joined the Army in 1935.
He served in Corregidor, Korea, Vietnam, and
in numerous commands. After his recent visit to
Flag Plaza, General Wright commented:
My visit to Flag plaza was an experience [ shall never
forget. I will admit, with no sense of shank, feeling
tingles in my spine as I listened to the history of our
flag. I will admit, with no apologies, my pride in our
flag and what it represents. Perhaps I am more fortunate
than many for having had an experience which deep-
ened my appreciation. respect, and love for our flag.
Following the fall of Corregidor and the surrender of
the Philippines in May 1942, 1 was a prisoner of war
for almost three and a hall years. Of course, during that
period I never saw an American flag. When the fighting
ended on August 15, 1945, 1 was in a prison camp in
Korea. Toward the end of August, food, clothing, and
medical supplies were parachuted into our camp,
dropped under silk parachutes of a number of different
colors. 'I he American prisoners organized a Betsy Ross
project to make an American flag from red, white, and
lilac parachutes. We had not seen an American flag
since May 6, 1942, when the worn-torn colors were
hauled down on Corregidor. On September 6. 1945, at
the most impressive flag-raising ceremony any of us had
ever witnessed, we were again under the American flag.
That star spangled banner waved as proudly as any flag
has ever waved.
So now perhaps you can understand why I was so
moved during my visit to Fl;ig Plaza. I wish every
American could hear and feel the story of our flag as
it is presented at Flag Plaza. We might just stand a. little
straighter, try a little harder, be a little more proud, and
feel a surge of courage. And, hopefully, we might even
combine these feelings with a sense of humility and
gratitude as we assess the value of our heritage-and
then resolve to honor and protect that heritage. Too
much to expect of Flag Plaza? I don't think so.
Warm regards and best wishes.

Information For Editors
Every type of publication in America will be
printing articles between now and the 1976 Bi-
centennial celebration dealing with the dynamic
story of America's first two hundred years. It is
predictable that there will be a tremendous surge
in literature, feature articles, films, TV and radio
programs on the subject in the next six years.
Editors and their staffs will need mountains of
facts and background material. Any of the com-
munications media in which you are interested
might appreciate knowing about Flag Plaza, its
publications, its availability, its services and its
willingness to consult.

General Heiser Visits
Flag Plaza

Chief of Stall for Logistics, U.S. Army, visited
Pittsburgh on November 1 I to serve as Grand
Marshal of the Annual Veterans' Day Parade.
At Flag Plaza, the General was presented the
Arnericcnt ArtificerArvard by FPI' in recognition
of his long service to and support of the Boy
Scouts of America.
After being presented with the Artificer
Award, the General made the foiling comments:
I an overwhelmed, and almost speechless, because
the presentation of this American Artificer Award to
me has been a complete surprise. In tact, my wife
Idie would have certainly been here if she had
known that this was to take place, including your
most thoughtful award to her as well. Mr. Speer, Mr.
Cahill, Scouts Michael ('rahh and Warren Crabb and
Iricnds, it is a most moving and sincere privilege for
me to accept this awaud. You have no way of know
ing how strongly I feel about this American Flag of
ours and what it stands for and about the Boy Scouts
of America. You would not know that I never had
a real hone of my own as a boy and that had it not
been for the Boy Scouts of America and another
ercat youth organization, the Boys Clubs of America,
I would have been a true juvenile delinquent without
question. These organizations kept me from trouble
and provided a potential for a useful life in my future
as a young man. Further, some remarks have been
made concerning the fact that I am a senior officer
of the United States Army. I think this organization
can understand my love of the flag and what it stands
for, as well as scouting, when you recognize that as
N young man knowing no one in the Army I walked
into Fort Jackson and enlisted and here a few years
later I find myself in my present position. 'I his could
only happen in America.
I am a real "flag waver.' even though today those
who talk about the grandeur of our flag are some-
times held up to scorn. I hose who do not honor our
flag do not understand just what that flag stands for.
I just wish that every American could have been
seen and learned. Our country is full of great people,
including the youth of America-the youth of Amer-
ica today aregreater than they ever were. We must
not fail to convey to our great youth what our coun-
try stands for and an understanding of why it does
what it must do for defense of our freedom as well
as that of the entire free world.
You have added immensely to my store of won-
derful moments in my career, here this morning. I
can assure you that I shall never forget it and that
my future eflorts in support of the objectives of our
country and its lag will he strengthened by this great
honor and privilege you have paid me representing
the Armv here today. God bless you all!

The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh is a non-profit,
non-partisan corporation founded in 1931. It was formerly
known as the Foreign Policy Association of Pittsburgh. It is
supported by individual memberships and contributions from
civic-minded individuals and Pittsburgh's business and profes-
sional communities.
The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh serves to:
? present educational programs for youth and adults on U.S. relations
with the rest of the world
? develop informed public opinion on world affairs
? urge constructive exercise of responsible citizenship
? exchange ideas with world opinion leaders
? stimulate interest in international issues
? provide factual information on foreign affairs
? prepare students for responsible roles as the Nation's future leaders
Members recognize that the United States' involvement in an
interdependent and ever-changing world demands that oppor-
tunities be made available to the American public to analyze
the trend of international events. Toward this end, adult and
student members are presented forums, conferences, lectures,
institutes, discussion groups, and radio and television broad-
casts on foreign affairs. As responsible citizens, members have
opportunities to hear and talk with the opinion leaders and
policy makers of the world.
Dues and contributions are recognized by the Internal
Revenue Service as a deductible item.
