Red, White, and Blue: the colors of the American flag.
For many many years, this banner has flown above the USA. In times of trouble, it never came down and in times of peace it flies ever still. When the United States was first formed, this flag was waved by patriots who fought for a freedom they believed in; they stood under The Stars and Stripes, facing the enemy until they won our freedom. When the country was torn in two, our flag remained a symbol of our glory that, though destroyed, would rise again. During World War 1 and 2, our flag flew alongside those of many other countries who would not let evil replace freedom.

Now The Stars and Stripes flies over a nation at peace, a people at rest. Silent and majestic, it watches over all Americans, stirring gently in the breeze. This is not just a flag; it represents what beats in the heart of every American: freedom, loyalty, honor, and love. The American flag is very special; it will never die, it will always be there. Never forget how important it is. Look up and see it. It is The Stars and Stripes. It is America.
