What honor really means is to have high respect; esteem for something or someone. Part of Lee Greenwood song, “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. and I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” This song/Quote has always stood out to me, he said to his band we need to become more united, so he sang a song about it. When I thought about that he didn’t just write it for people to hear to and enjoy he wrote it with passion and care for the flag.
On the U.S. flag the thirteen stripes of red and white represent the original thirteen colonies that declared independence from England; fifty stars symbolize the current 50 United states. This is what the colors represent, white indicates purity and innocence, red indicates valor and bravery; and blue indicates vigilance, perseverance, and justice. These are some of the most important reasons why I honor the American flag.
This is a story that my grandpa had shared with me. My grandpa was drafted into world war II. One night he was sleeping and was awoken by something. He went outside to go see what is was, but nothing seemed to make the noise. Then he decided to stay outside for a minute to take a breather, then suddenly were he had slept was bombed and there were still men in there! They sadly were no longer alive. He was so blessed that night to be out of there at the right time. (Sorry I might not have detailed enough but I can’t remember all of it to clear) My point is we’re so blessed in so many was we can’t even imagine, right now we’re blessed to be living a free life under the American flag.

I found a short story about two soldiers that ponder the body of a fallen comrade. They decide to bury the body even though there’s shooting just overhead. This was an amazing story. They could have waited till tomorrow came, but refused, they had respected this man and couldn’t wait an hour longer. People of America I honor the American flag not only for freedom, equality, justice, and hope, but I also honor it for soldier’s who sacrifice their life for it.
