The flag, is much more than a piece of fabric.
The 13 stripes represent the thirteen original colonies. The stars represent the 50 states in the Union.
Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor, White symbolizes Purity and Innocence and Blue represents Vigilance and Justice.

The flag is much more than a piece of fabric. Any flag to a person of that country, should be more than a piece of fabric. Should be more than just a sign showing what country you originate from or who your allegiance is with. It should be a symbol of what your country is, and should be a source of pride, no matter what country you are from, your flag is your identity.

Ignore Penguin, he only wants the reaction.  Let life teach him the lesson he needs.

Hmmm  i always thought of Penguin as a well educated Kid and well spoken, until now..... you have no clue as to what our flag means to so so many , you know those guys who died to keep our colors waving in the wind and our freedoms intact, you sir dug yourself a hole that i doubt you will ever crawl out of, they may be just colors to you BUT this counrty bleeds RED WHITE and BLUE and is the soul of what we were founded on, get some respect sonny then come back.

I had hoped this might just be a solemn and respectful topic. To those that understand and know history and value liberty, a piece of cloth for sure, but it is so much more a symbol. As those that once pledged their lives and sacred honor for a cause were remembered and known, for there has never been such a nation on earth that promised such freedom.

Don't get bent out of shape you guys.  It's not worth letting them work your blood pressure up.  I try to make it a policy not to react to people if I don't value their opinion (unless there's truly no other alternative).

penguin is just a troll, suitable only for ignoring the drivel he posts.
