Introduction Future authors you will all be putting together a book. It will be a book about American flags. Each author will be responsible for finding information about an American flag that you will choose. When the book is done each author will be presenting their page they created. The preamble is a great symbol to this nation just as the flag is. We will be learning the preamble in order to be able to recite it every morning.
