What does the American flag stand for?
The American Flag stands for courage, camaraderie, safety and protection. Also the flag expresses patriotism and love of the country. Did you know that the colors on our flag stand for something? White stands for purity and innocence. Red stands for hardiness and valor. Last but not least, blue stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stars on the American Flag stand for heaven and divine. The stripes mean rays of light emanating from the sun. The flag also stands for something else. The flag stands for hope, beliefs and accomplishments of our nation.
Flags are the most important symbols in the nation. The flag has stood for character, personality and the American history. The American flag has become an old, familiar symbol. Some people do not take the flag seriously, they make tents, skirts, T-shirts and seats of their jeans. The 13 stripes stand for the 13 colonies. There also has been a lot of changes in the American flag. Francis Scott Key wrote a poem which is now known as the Star Spangled Banner.
The flag does not tell us that we are perfect. But, the flag tells us we must always strive to be perfect. Normally the flag is displayed only from sunrise to sunset. For special occasions it may be displayed at night. The flag should be raised briskly, lowered slowly and ceremonially. At no time should the flag touch anything beneath. You can not write, draw and no other marks should be on the flag.
