Our Flag

Our Flag To most people a flag is the symbol of the Country that they live in. This is a great thing to have. Some people don't know the meaning or what it stands for. To us here in the U.S. it's a symbol that represents us and our Country and to that - we hold respect. Some people don't respect our flag, they stump it and burn it on the ground. Why is there so much hate towards our flag? Our flag never did nothing to anyone. We stand by our flag and we are proud of it's colors - red, white and blue, colors that don't run. I don't think that only our flag is important. I think that any flag is, for it represents a Country and it's people...

Our Flag, the face of a Nation. " Colors that don't run..." that has deep meaning Lucilla. I admire how you share respect for others too. J.A.B.

Wonderful poem Lucilla, And yes we all should be proud, we can be of one humanity, yet different flags. Its our differences that make us unique and quite frankly some flags represent more of humanity than many others, is sad people living in those countries don't appreciate that.

A wonderful poem, Lucilla! We proudly fly the American flag all year long at my house, not just on Independence Day. We've got every reason to celebrate, and my family and I do it in a big way each year! I hope you and your family have a safe and happy 4th of July!
