Happy birthday AMERICA....
I proudly fly my country's flag on this her birthday....
Our country is going through trying times at the moment... Respect for our values and flag are being questioned and assaulted.
Lets see what the flag represented to our ancestors and see if we can bring those values back...
Colors of the flag
RED ... represents courage, hardiness, and bloodshed...
Courage ... because our country separated from what we once knew.
Hardiness ... believing our country would outlast the land that we came from.
Bloodshed ... honoring those who lost their lives for our freedom and our country.
WHITE ... purity and vigilance ...
Purity ... Independent and not corrupted by any other country ...
Vigilance ... alert and careful in the choices we make ...
BLUE ... justice and perseverance
justice ... basis of our country ...
perseverance ... we will stand firm against all opposition...
HONORING THE FLAG IS ... PAYING RESPECT FOR THE LIBERTIES WE ENJOY...
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY REMEMBERING WITH GRATITUDE THOSE VALIANT SOULS THAT SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO PRESERVE THESE FREEDOMS...
We are a nation of flawed beings, we make mistakes ... but hopefully learn from them... There is so much GOOD in this land that out ways the bad...
