What does the American flag mean to you?
Our country has been founded on the principles of our forefathers, the honorable men who were committed to establishing a country unlike any other; one that can be sustained and made to prosper. These were not the only men who made our country great. Soldiers are warriors who so faithfully serve with nobility far beyond imagination. They remain as the protectors of what the writers of the Constitution, the very founders of this nation, strived to put in place. The flag is far more than stars and stripes, or even a symbol of just another country. It remains as a beacon, a testament to the dedication of so many who have fought to make this nation what it is today. It speaks of our origins, and our future. The struggles of our past make the upcoming glories so much brighter. “United we stand.” This phrase captures the very essence of what the American people aspire to be. We want to stand, with all the boldness and courage that we possess, and be one voice - the voice of freedom, the voice of virtue. When Betsy Ross poured her time into the first U.S. flag, I wonder if she really knew what she was creating. With every stitch, a piece of the morals and impressive resiliency was symbolized. Our flag flies as the very heartbeat of our nation, a reminder of where we came from, the sacrifices, and a monumental future.
