The American Flag, the purest and most concrete representation of the United States, embodies all that is America. Americans stand, hand over their heart listening to their national anthem, gazing at it with eyes full of love, respect and awe. The American national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” was inspired by, and sings in esteem of its resistance, standing among the rockets and bombs bursting in air. It symbolizes truth, liberty and justice. It flies atop the “land of the free and the home of the brave” and is seen almost everywhere in our daily lives. It is even an international icon, the “Stars and Stripes”, “Old Glory”, the American flag. For many this flag has been archetype of the American Dream and patriotism. What better material aspect of our culture is more associated with good ole “’Merica” than the American Flag?…
When Francis Scott Key wrote that he had seen our flag still waving there in the wake of the battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812, it entailed the continuation of a glorious nation that represents the very essence of virtue and liberty. That nation is our own beloved America. The flag that it waves, the Star-Spangled Banner, perennially flies as a beacon of hope throughout this vague and fledgling world. The depths of the dark Blue behind the shining stars manifests the dark and indeed troubled times that our country has faced and is yet inevitably to face again. Those shining White Stars in that revered sea of blue are dedicated to the Sovereign States that choose to be associated with the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…

The American Flag is the embodiment of freedom, and is made powerful through dedication and sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice for America and Freedom has been made countless times by the brave and selfless men and women of the American Military. Walking barefoot through snow at Valley Forge, being slaughtered on the beaches at D-Day, fighting in booby trapped enemy infested jungles, and battling an enemy driven by a religion that has no honor; these are Americans defending their freedom and the freedom of others. To give four years of your life you have to be dedicated to a cause; that cause has to be even more important if it requires that you fight and possibly die. Our Military has always been a large part of the "face" of…
What the United States flag means to me is freedom. I hear the stories of the people who have their whole life chosen for them in different countries. Which sounds absolutely horrifying to me. I enjoy being able to decide my future like what kind of job i'm going to have or what college I’m going to go to. I don’t want that taken away from me.The Flag also ensures me as much safety as possible. What I mean by that is we have so many people who risked their life and are risking their life right now to keep that flag standing. All those people who have died died to ensure that I and everyone else live free and that means the world to me.…
It was born on June 14, 1777 in Philadelphia and since then, has been the national flag for the United States of America. The American flag has it's own public law - Public Law 829 - outlining the proper use and display for all occasions and situations.

The misunderstanding of the symbolism behind our American flag has lead people to mistreat and disrespect it's physical form by burning, stomping, spitting, wiping their privates on, and destroying…
In Modern Times, the concept of freedom is to be entitled by every man and women with exceptions in some cases, but underrated to those who are given it. In the case of the early 1900’s, freedom was a foreign concept to some countries and citizens of the unlucky wanted a taste of what they couldn’t have. In the novel, Anthem, by Ayn Rand, she uses her childhood and knowledge of the strict Romanov Reign to instill a concept in her dystopian novel where real freedom no longer exists and when a group, Equality 7-2521, experiences a small amount of it, all they crave is what freedom gives.…

The American flag is one of our most precious pieces of history. We wave it high in the sky to show that our freedom will never die and we will always fight for it,no matter how violent or how dangerous that journey shall be. The American flag has gone through many phases and changes. It first stared back in 1775, when the American ships in New England flew a white flag with a green pine tree and a saying - "An appeal to heaven." Along with the serpent, the 13 stars and 76 stars-our flag finally has come to a stop with 50 states.The American flag has many of the common colors we see on the British flag and the Australian flag and more, but we always wear these colors on July 4th, the day we declared independence, and we have never wondered…
