GOP Women donate to Darke County libraries
GREENVILLE, OHIO – The Darke County Republican Women’s Club (DCRWC) has
donated “One Flag, One America (the story of the American Star)” to all
the Darke County libraries serving elementary aged children. Each book
was personally autographed by Michelle Hirstius, the author. This is
part of the National Federation of Republican Women’s Mamie Eisenhower
Library Project (MELP).
“It is a wonderful teaching book about the flag, the 13 colonies, the
50 states, the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.” explained
DCRWC President Betty Hill. “We are so pleased to be able to share this
book with the children of Darke County.”
“Take a journey with this little star... ‘I’m a little star, just a
little star. I wish and I pray, to be a star on our nation’s flag
someday!’ Along the way that little star teaches children the true
meaning of the American flag and what it stands for. Why does the flag
have 50 stars? Why does the flag have 13 stripes? Why is the flag red,
white and blue? The little star does make it to the nation’s flag,
teaching children to aim high and never sway so they can be like the
star and reach their goals. This educational and inspirational book
makes it fun for children and adults to learn the history of our
nation’s flag.” says Hirstius.
Each patriotic page is beautifully illustrated in full color and
written for teachers and parents to easily make the story into a small
play for children to interact and learn. DCRWC members have offered to
visit the libraries and read the book to children’s groups.
Hirstius is proud to show her love of country, its heroes and its flag.
She has dedicated this book to our heroes in uniform with a special
dedication to her grandfather, a Navy World War II veteran. She donates
10 percent of the book proceeds to veterans’ charities.
The following libraries received the book through DCRWC participation
in the MELP program: Ansonia Local Elementary School Library,
Arcanum-Butler Elementary School Library, Arcanum Public Library,
