The American flag is important to me because it means freedom.
My grandpa served in WWII.
The stars on the American flag represent the 50 states. At first, there were only 13 stars on the flag because at the time, there were the 13 original colonies. We honor the flag by pledging to allegiance.
To me, the flag means peace. The colors on the flag symbolize their own meaning. Red symbolizes hardiness and valor. White means innocence, and purity. And finally, blue stands for vigilance and justice, also perseverance.
I like it when singers make good songs about USA. Bruce Springsteen made a good song called “Born in The USA”. My great grandpa served in World War 1 and his grandpa served in The War of 1812. It gets even better, his dad served in the revolutionary war as a patriot, and so did his dad. My family has a lot to do with war. A long chain was created from my family and relatives. Every time I have to say the Pledge of Allegiance, I stand up straight and pay attention to the flag. I say the pledge loud and clear.
I am proud of the soldiers who serve for USA for holding up our freedom and keeping us all safe. The American flag means a bunch of things, such as freedom of religion, freedom to choose government leaders, and peace. That’s why the American flag is important to me. I would like to say thank you to all of the veterans who have served in the US army.
