Freedom, courage and honor are just a few symbols of the American flag. Every flag stands for something, but for Americans, the flag symbolizes much more that the country it flies in. The American flag symbolizes the people in the country and what many individuals have done for it, including giving their lives. Many wars have been fought under the American flag, encouraging each man to stay strong. The unity in the flag is alone enough to symbolize America, but the efforts and fights that have taken place, cannot be looked past.
