DIY American Flag Backdrop: via Laughing Latte
I did some research on the US Flag and it was made in Philadelphia on June 14 of 1777. The flag was made to establish an official new flag for the nation. The stripes on the flag represent the 13 colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. A flag represents a country and we know all of the different flags for each country, it's a worldwide known fact. The colors of the flag are symbolic too. The red represents valor, the white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. We call our flag "Old Glory" and this is because one day out at sea, the flag was hoisted into the wind and a sailor captain exclaimed, "Old Glory!" and that has been its nickname ever since. The "Star Spangled Banner" was written about our flag. During the war, our flag was still standing so Francis Scott Key wrote the "Star Spangled Banner" in his room looking out of his window. Our flag is widely accepted by our people. We see it everywhere: from hanging in peoples yards to people having flags printed in many different ways on their clothing. The US people are proud to wear the flag. It is a disgrace if our flag touches the ground so that is another way people respect and accept it. People have started to disrespect our flag however. They have put it on the ground and stomped on it and they have also set fire to it. And in some cases, people have not stood for the national anthem. These are just some of the controversial things that are happening in our society today.
