Love a flag? Nope.

Or love what it symbolises?

Two very different questions.

I do love my flag




I am the Flag

by Ruth Apperson Rous
I am the flag of the United States of America.


I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.


There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the
national flag.


My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen
white stars in a field of blue, represented a new constellation, a new
nation dedicated to the personal and religious liberty of mankind.


Today fifty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fifty
sovereign states in the greatest constitutional republic the world has
ever known.


My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of the
citizens of my country.


My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American
men and boys and the self-sacrifice and devotion of American mothers and
daughters.


My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.


My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.


I represent these eternal principles: liberty, justice, and humanity.


I embody American freedom: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the
press, and the sanctity of the home.


I typify that indomitable spirit of determination brought to my land by
Christopher Columbus and by all my forefathers - the Pilgrims, Puritans,
settlers at James town and Plymouth.


I am as old as my nation.


I am a living symbol of my nation's law: the Constitution of the United
States and the Bill of Rights.


I voice Abraham Lincoln's philosophy: "A government of the people, by
the people,for the people."


I stand guard over my nation's schools, the seedbed of good citizenship
and true patriotism.


I am displayed in every schoolroom throughout my nation; every
schoolyard has a flag pole for my display.


Daily thousands upon thousands of boys and girls pledge their allegiance
to me and my country.


I have my own law—Public Law 829, "The Flag Code" - which definitely
states my correct use and display for all occasions and situations.


I have my special day, Flag Day. June 14 is set aside to honor my birth.


Americans, I am the sacred emblem of your country. I symbolize your
birthright, your heritage of liberty purchased with blood and sorrow.


I am your title deed of freedom, which is yours to enjoy and hold in
trust for posterity.


If you fail to keep this sacred trust inviolate, if I am nullified and
destroyed, you and your children will become slaves to dictators and
despots.


Eternal vigilance is your price of freedom.


As you see me silhouetted against the peaceful skies of my country,
remind yourself that I am the flag of your country, that I stand for
what you are - no more, no less.


Guard me well, lest your freedom perish from the earth.


Dedicate your lives to those principles for which I stand: "One nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


I was created in freedom. I made my first appearance in a battle for
human liberty.


God grant that I may spend eternity in my "land of the free and the home
of the brave" and that I shall ever be known as "Old Glory," the flag of
the United States of America.

The Australian flag has shame all over it..

Why would I worship it?

The blood of thousands of Indigenous is on that flag.

As well as many sons and daughters of many Australians..

I see it as a shameful symbol.

I would rather worship life, and peace, than some stupid scrap of cloth.

My countrys flag is not sacred, blessed or endowed with rights.

It represents those rights my ancestors in this country held dear enough
to fight and die for to endure hardships for and preserve so that my
generation could benefit from their dream.

I am and have allways been ready to do the same so that future
generations might also benefit from that dream.

However it is just a flag. A bit of cloth with colors, stripes and
stars. It is not the flag I hold dear nor the republic for which it
stands.

It is the people that accept the concept of WE THE PEOPLE that I will
defend and support.

The flag means nothing without the will of the people that beleive in
the constitution which is the foundation of this country.

I have no particular feelings towards our flag, but I refuse to
disrespect it. I do, however, have feelings about the rebel flag. I'd
like to burn it right in the front lawn of the White House while flippin
GW the bird.

my flag

like an old friend, has always been there to comfort me when i get down.

the idealogy it represents and the men and women who i have sacrificed,
always brings a tear when ever i ponder on what has become of my
country.

rememberance of the flag's meaning, beautiful to me.
