The Flag

I was  talking with my hubby  the other night  , and we were talking about the flag  and what it means  .He asked if I really understood   the  meaning  of the colors of our flag   and he began to tell me what they mean to him

 We know the colors of are flag are red white and blue he said   but there is a reason for that combination.

Red is the blood that has been spilled by the brave men and women that came to this country in search of something they didn’t have where they came from.  They fought for freedom and happiness that is why there is red in our flag.

White is for the purity  of witch  our forefathers  wrote  the constitution  with the intent that all men  regardless of religion , race , or creed   could be treated equal  and have the same rights as everyone else  and the same chances to  prosper and be free.

And Blue the final color of our flag 

That stands for  the honesty  of  our intent  and our belief in a power higher than us  and that  we would  never weaver   from  that belief . 

I asked why we chose stars to represent each of our states his reply was this.

We started with only  13  stars   and now we have  50   on our flag   each star is  there for each state  that shines for our way  of life  and  shows that there  is more in the world than just us   they are beacon   that shines  for all to see  that  freedom  comes  from the heart and from god  .

With a tear in his eye   he said I have  witnessed  things  done to our flag to bring  this country to its knees but  with our  faith in  what  it represents   it still flies  and waves  many  hate what it represents  but they all  want what we have .  they try and try  to bring us down   but  with  that flag waving  ragged as it may be now   people  will  fight  for  what it represents  and the chances  that it has given to so many  for a fresh  start .   That is what the colors of our flag mean   and I am sure other think differently   but to me and my husband    that is what it means to us.
