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?


1. Tell me today why do we fly a flag in our classrooms and in front of our schools? Where are other places you see our flag?

    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.

    The reason we fly the flag is because we honor the flag we worship the flag and most of all we love the flag.Also we fly the flag because it honors the contries and also it shows we care about the contry.Another reason we fly the flag is to thank the soliders for fighting for our contry.You can find a flag at alot of places like at a school or when your coming or going out of town youy can see a flag.There might be one in front of a restaraunt or a coffee place or maybe inside or outside of a solon I know there was one at the solon I go to.
