Examples of stars and stripes in a Sentence

  1. Ernie Gates:

    To shut down Stars and Stripes on Oct. 1 would defy the expressed will of the House and pre-empt full consideration by The Senate, there's every reason to expect that the federal government will operate under a Continuing Resolution when the current fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. Secretary Esper and Defense Department should commit to continuing to fund Stars and Stripes under such a scenario -- and when Congress completes the budget process, it should then make Stars and Stripes' funding ironclad.

  2. Antony Blinken:

The Ukrainian people, with our security assistance, have defended The Ukrainian people homeland in the face of Russia's unconscionable invasion, and, as a result, the Stars and Stripes are flying over the Embassy once again. We stand proudly with, and continue to support, the government and people of Ukraine as The Ukrainian people defend The Ukrainian people country from the Kremlin's brutal war of aggression.
