NARRATOR: From the Four Corners of the earth they came, (either four girls with lighted candles or flashlights). They carried a torch in Freedom's name.
NARRATOR: Freedom of Speech
1st Freedom: and speak we must
NARRATOR: Freedom of Worship
2nd Freedom: in God we trust
NARRATOR: Freedom from Want
3rd Freedom: from weakness, from greed
NARRATOR: Freedom from Fear
4th Freedom: is freedom indeed!
NARRATOR: Let these freedoms be the beacons that call thee to the home of the brave and the land of the free.
The flag is brought into the staging area, on a staff or held at each of the four corners. The flag should not be carried flat; make sure the blue field is raised to the audience.
NARRATOR: To honor the flag is to honor the freedom for which it stands. Join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.
[Freedoms act as the Honor Guard and do not speak].
A song may be sung to close the ceremony, all escort flag off stage.
