"I love our flag. I love the way it looks, so handsomely designed, and with such strong and lively colors. I love what it was created to signify."
AMEN, there is none to compare in beauty and symbolism! FREEDOM!!!!
Here is an idea. All this patriotism is very nice and moving and sweet, but it will be even better if it becomes very meaningful. Here's one way. (This is what I'm going to do today, Sunday, with my son.)Go to your computer and go to a site--there are a lot of them--that has the U.S. Constitution. Click and print. Then get the Bill of Rights, in a special separate version.
Click, print. Go to the Declaration of Independence. Click and print. Then get one of the little flags or flag decals or pins everyone has now.
Take all those papers, still warm from the printer, in your hand. And say to your child, "See these words? These words are what this flag means. This flag--these words. People literally died holding this flag up in battle--because it represented these words. These are great words. Let's read them.
"We hold these truths ... "
Just click and print ... for freedom!
