We believe this because the desecration of the flag tarnishes its value, the flag is our very own unique symbol, and it is the symbol that change 13 fledging colonies into a world power. The desecration of the American Flag or any flag tarnishes
It makes me proud when I see the American flag flying in the sky, makes us honor our heroes and sports stars, and it makes us remember the people who fought for the independence of our country. The flag flies tall and proud in so many places across America, the world, and even on the moon. Today, one hundred fifty million flags that are sold per year. The American flag brings together Americans as one united nation. “The American flag, Old Glory, standing tall and flying free over American soil for 228 years is the symbol of our beloved country.
The iconic design of the Stars and Stripes on the American flag has been a symbol of hope to every citizen in America since its making. Every time an American citizen sees these stars and stripes, they are reminded of their safe home in the United States of America. Every time a soldier sees the flag, they are reminded of what they are fighting for. They are fighting for the freedom that every citizen in the United States takes for granted, yet they still bravely fight for that freedom. As children, we were taught that Betsy Ross was the woman to thank for the flag that we see today.
This is saying that the people that support the flag want the nation to break apart again. As Allen Guelzo states, “The flag of treason should be suppressed.” This is a good point, but it is not true. As chip Reid says. “The flag is an important part of an educational experience intended to inspire Americans to learn about their past.”
Change. It’s what many people fear. What would you do if something so familiar in your life was gone; changed forever? Changing the Australian flag would be taking away a piece of our country 's heritage. As Dame Quentin Bryce commented, "Our flag, and icon of our shared identity, is much loved, worn and flown by Australians here and across the world.
Men, women and children everywhere in Australia singing proudly to their national anthem, all thinking about their independence and nothing but smiles are plastered on their faces. Up in the sky, we see our national flag waving through the wind, or up in a big screen presenting to the rest of the country, symbolising unity and equality of the country, but it's not for all of us. Our problem in society at this moment is that we have a flag that doesn't capture the picture of our culture, our community and most importantly ourselves. The flag we bear today is nothing compared to the countless of brilliant flag designs to better suit Australia and our community. The Reconciliation Flag is one example of a better suitor for the striving country
Our flag represents the fight they have gone through to bring us where we are today. I know that there are quite a few of veterans, including my grandfather, that think it is very disrespectful not to stand for the flag. There are veterans that stand even though they are wheelchair bound,
The Confederate flag was first flown to show the secession of South Carolina from the union. South Carolina seceded from the union on the grounds that tariffs were being passed to the northern states. Even though in the south the flag meant slavery, the Confederate flag does not represent slavery, it represents a setting in time when slavery was acceptable. The confederate flag and the monuments have caused many debates and riots over the past couple of decades between the Confederates, people who believe in the flag and its monuments and the Federalist, people who oppose the flag and the monuments. I do believe that the Confederate flag should be removed because the flag is a part of history when one state refused to cooperate with the union and choose to secede.
The Confederate Flag One of the most debated topics throughout American history is about what the Confederate flag represents. Some people believe that it represents Southern pride, while others see it as a sign of hate towards African- Americans. The Confederate flag can be used as a symbol of white supremacy, but can also be seen as a tribute to fallen Confederate soldiers. Now, the Confederate flag wasn’t seen as such a terrible thing when it was first created.
The Confederate flag represents different meanings, for different people. Not all the meanings are good, and not all of them are true. Some people may view the flag as a representation of racism, and a harsh time period for African Americans. However, that was not the intended meaning for the Confederate flag. Other people view the flag as an important symbol of our history and the past, that should not be taken away or destroyed.
The American flag reflects the past and present of America and also its people. The past includes the growth of a nation and the citizens who fought for it. Presently people look at the flag and see a strong country. The American flag symbolizes what the American people have pride in and makes them feel proud to be an American citizen.
The American flag is a work of beauty, and meaning. It has withstood the test of time, and will live on till the end. There are people that would like to make it a symbol. A symbol of protest, and a symbol of freedom. The American flag is just a object.
No one says it like they are proud to be an American. I believe that we should have great pride to represent our flag, much like the Olympians we all respect. We have stood for it since June 14, 1777, the day our founding fathers decided on the flag’s design. Millions of Americans died
French President Francois Hollande urged his countrymen and women to display the blue, white and red flag at their homes to take part in a ceremony Friday commemorating the 130 people who died after jihadists attacked the nation 's capital two weeks ago. Survivors, family members and politicians gathered at Paris’ Les Invalides military museum – home to Napoleon’s tomb – to hear the names and ages of the victims, most of them young, read aloud. Displaying the national flag is not as common in France as it is in United States. For decades, the French flag has been viewed domestically as either a far-right symbol or something mostly suited for government buildings and sporting events.
It shows that you care about what the people are doing over sea fighting so that you can be able to stand for it. Some people just wanna sit and not care what they think or how it makes them feel. When it says “one Nation under god” it makes people feel hurt because it makes them feel like they have to believe in god in order to say the pledge. Saying the pledge makes people feel like they are forced to believe and do something that they don’t feel is right and they don’t believe in. This is not true the flag is to show the freedom that people are fighting for, it has nothing to with believing you can believe in what you want, you don’t have to believe in order to stand for it.
