Conservative pipebomb! What the flag means to me on this fourth of july.

When you see the flag what do you see? To some people it just a flag. To me it is so much more. It's a living embodiment of what freedom means. It's to me is the flag that was carried into battle during our own Brexit from England. It's a flag that the Constitutional Convention looked at while making the Constitution. It's the flag that wept as we lost men's during the battle of 1812. Also felt sadness when we fought Indians as we started to grab a foothold in land as well as subjecting people to slavery. Then got angry when we fought Mexico during the Mexican American war. The flag was weaken & splinted when our brothers in the south split and we fought the Civil War then sadden when Lincoln was shot in the waning days of the war. Soon thou the flag brighten as we explored our new home and fought Spain in the Spanish American war and won. Then the flag stood high and proud as we helped our allies in World War 1.

  The flag was blushing with pride during the roaring 20's. Thou alas it was weaken a little during the great depression. Then the flag blacken during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Yet regain it power and full majestic glory during WW2 as we marched toward Berlin and then taught the Japanese that their actions come with too high a price when we dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese homeland.  As the flag waves during the 50s and early 60s there was a sense of hope. Thou it came crashing down when President Kennedy was shot down in Dallas. The flag was dripping with sadness. Then thru the 60's & 70's the flag sorta faded as people rejected what the flag means till the 1980 Olympic in Lake Placid when the U.S hockey team beat the Russians in the semi final then won the gold. Then the release after 444 days of the hostages in Iran as President Reagan came into office to remind people that the flag and America is the shining city on the hill.

Then on 9/11 our flag was torn from the explosions that killed nearly 3,000 of our citizens. The wars after that weaken our flag yet it still persevere. Thou it get weaken from every attack on our homeland from Colorado to a club in Orlando. It doesn't matter who leads us thou our flag is a symbol of what America was, is and what it supposed to be a everlasting symbol of freedom.

This fourth of July on our 240th birthday remember to see what that flag means to us and how men fought for and died for it. The people who were there to help when tragedy struck and to the children who will pick up the mantle and keep America being the bastion of freedom on this earth.
