This undated handout image provided by the National Archives and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library shows a letter from Frank Sinatra to President George H.W. Bush, June 29, 1989 When the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Texas v. Johnson that burning the American flag was protected free speech, President Bush was so outraged that he proposed a constitutional amendment banning the burning or desecration of the American flag. Francis “Frank” Albert Sinatra wrote to the President “I applaud you long and loud for your reaction.” George H. W. Bush Presidential Library, National Archives Curators at the National Archives have culled their collection in search of some of the great signatures of history. A special exhibit opening Friday includes the personal marks of figures that include Thomas Jefferson, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Robinson, Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein, along with important documents from history. Curators looked at the power of the pen in politics, war, entertainment and sports for the wide-ranging exhibit, "Making their Mark." (AP Photo/National Archives, George H.W.
