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.
