American Flag

All week we are taking a minute to remember 9-11. I realize all of you were very very young. Today think about our American Flag that hangs in front of our school. We all see flags in front of many public places. The American flag is a symbol for our country. Many things have a symbol, we all know what the golden arches symbolizes but, do we know what our American flag symbolizes?

The reason why we have a flag in front of our class room is so then we can say the pledge and to represent the people that are fighting for us in the war. You can also see them in front of a post office and in front of more places.
