The American flag represents the ideals of liberty, justice, and equality that our country was founded upon. Each star and stripe tells a story of unity, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a more perfect union. Let's take a moment today to reflect on the meaning of our flag and the freedoms it represents. Whether you display a flag, learn about its history, or simply appreciate its significance, let's show our respect for this powerful emblem of American pride.
