“The American flag doesn't give her glory on a peaceful, calm day. It's when the winds pick up and become boisterous, do we see her strength. When she unfolds her hand, and shows her frayed fingers, where we see the stretch of red-blood lines of man that fought for this land. The purity of white stripes that strips our sins, and the stars of Abraham's covenant, broad in a midnight blue sky. The rights our forefathers established. As it waves high in the currents of freedom, where the Torch of Liberty shines over the sea, does she give meaning to unity. When we strive as one nation, or when it drops half-mast, to a fallen soldier.” WarCharacterGodGovernmentAmericaOpportunityFreedomHistoryPowerUnited StatesSeaStrengthGloryBraveryIndependenceUnitySoldierPrivilegeBlowEqualityCivil RightsPeacefulOnenessMourningFightCitizenshipForefathersStatue Of LibertyWindsFlagTorchGust Of WindCovenant Of AbrahamHalf Mast Author:Anthony Liccione
