im not american - but as i understand it alot of americans find that the flag brings nations together. It is the standard of our nation...where ever our leaders go it travels with them. It has gone before soldier into battle and is the last thing taken down when we leave.
It has 13 stripes representing the original 13 colonies
White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valor, and Blue, the color of the Chief [the broad band above the stripes] signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."
50 stars, one for each state in our union
Figuratively, it is the symbol of our nation that has stood for over 222 years. It is a flies over every US territory, Embassy, Military base and every other piece of land we claim in the world. It even stand to this day on the Moon.
Every soldier stand at attention and salutes it during its raising and lowering, every citizen stands, removes hats, and places a hand over their heart. It is a symbol of unity, of purpose and of us...each one of us, Americans.不要说不是美国人就把你当成美国人来写。
