A Flag Is Flying

From my desk at work I can see, outside there are trees and a flag that is flying for all to see. Do they understand; will they ever truly know what makes that flag so grand? It was an ideal placed in the heart of men; of virtue, love, and faith- to lead us to the future and remind us of where we have been. Red is for hardiness and valor; the blood of men and women who, for a belief, died with bravery. White is for purity and innocence- the protection of those who wish to be free from tyranny’s vengeance. Blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice- Taking a stand for our country and fellow man no matter the cost. The stars represent the heavens- the splendor and majesty of God, and his love for all mankind- his greatest creation.
