The American Flag and What It Means To Me
The American Flag means many things to many people. Fifty stars, thirteen stripes, freedom, liberty, patriotism, and safety are the most common. There are fifty stars for fifty states united together, thirteen stars to represent thirteen colonies that pulled together to create the beginning of the United States. For some Americans, it does not mean much of anything past the idea that it is just the flag of America.

The flag isn’t just a piece of cloth to show that ‘America’ exists. It is there to represent us. People would die for the flag, just as they would die for their country, there is no difference. I would die for the flag and for my country so my kids and grandchildren and others may have peace, freedom and security from evil.
As a boy I had a patriotic view on life. As a young man at the age of twenty, I experienced firsthand living or dying protecting my country. As an older adult veteran, I would still do the same. Freedom is worth the price.
John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”

Thank you for posting this article on the flag and what it means to you. Thank you for fighting for our freedom in this country. I love the flag, my country, and those willing to stand up for it.
Very good article, Larry! You’re so right! The Flag should be what unites us, not divides us! It’s not a political symbol. It represents us all! Thank you for all that you do for Hotel Company! God Bless You! Semper Fi!
