Our 50-star flag represents the ideals and identities of the greatest constitutional republic in the world, and those standing for our flag, applauding and saying thank you for our service lifted our patriotic emotions and appreciation of our country.
Thank you for the following:
We honor our flag and our flag waves for us.
