Wow! Generations of Americans have honored the Flag in spite of FDR's illegal order that justified incarcerating American citizens without due process. Americans watched about 6,000 Marines die in a month to take a smelly island that could have been bypassed but the raising of the Flag on Iwo Jima became the symbol of America at the time. We had relative peace and prosperity during Trump's four years but the radicals who have taken over our great democracy now view Old Glory as a symbol of oppression. Get ready for some bad shit in the next couple of years.
What it stands for.... what it’s being used for....

City,
It is an interesting topic...
In Ireland the Irish Tricolour (Green, White and Orange) was used by IRA terrorists when they were killing people in there bombing campaigns in Northern Ireland and UK mainland. They used it in video addresses, fund-raising, marches.... It was a symbol... They hijacked it and made the people of Ireland embarrassed about there flag, it represented the killing of women and kids on the street of Manchester, Liverpool...
Since the peace came 25 years ago it has been noted that the Irish won back their flag. It represents the country again. It's association with violence of the 70s and 80s is mainly gone. Instead it stands for proud people who want to be warm and welcoming...
People and organisations will always try and hijack your symbols and flags for there own gain... Church was used in the same way in Europe... Wrap yourself in the Flag... Reality is that the GOP are into the flags and the symbolism but duck out when the hard work of building a proper functioning society needs to be done.
So I say, grab on to the flag and
tell people who use it for there agenda that they cheapen and insult the memories of the people who fought to preserve it..
