Our Flag yet Waves Reflections on the Soul of America

Our Flag Yet Waves is a literary response to the last several years of
political turmoil and controversy. Moved by the belief that fundamental
American values are being tested and even threatened, Dr. David Heller thoughtfully
delineates and discusses his perspective on these ideals as pillars of an Americana
that must be protected and cherished -- now more than ever. While addressing
such topics as patriotism, equality, inclusiveness, openness to change, American
resiliency, unity despite diverse voices, and much more, Dr. Heller offers considerable
food-for-thought about our current national debates and dramatic tensions. While
addressing these and other pressing subjects, he presents numerous memorable
insights, including the following:
"The government that governs best governs with the least partiality and the
greatest compassion,"
"America is a colorful story of unfolding acts, authored across five
centuries from immigrants from all the world."
"There is no America and no democracy without truth -- those truths
that are self-evident and those that are not."
"America will never run out of statesmen; it's just that more and more of those
statesmen will be women."
"America is a mosaic of a thousand pieces. If you look closely with
an open heart you will see that all of those pieces do indeed fit together."
