What the Flag Means to Me

When most people look at the flag, they see the fifty stars representing fifty states and the stripes as thirteen colonies. Some see the red of the flag to mean brave, white as justice, and blue as liberty. When I look at the flag, I see so much more. The red and the white stand for the flesh and blood of the men and women who have served our country. The color blue and the stars represent all of our states united by the pure blue sky. Our one dollar bill states “In God We Trust”, I also feel it relates to the flag. God will watch over our country and keep it safe. Finally, and most importantly, the stripes join our country together to make the great United States of America.
