The U.S. flag is a strong symbol of American identity and national pride. Stars are a symbol of the heavens and the goals to which humankind aspires; stripes are symbolic of rays of light from the sun. Thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that declared independence from England; fifty stars symbolize the current 50 United States.
The flag represents those who live in America. If you don't respect the flag, you don't respect yourself or anyone in the United States. These are things that really bother me. People who think it is a hassle to stand up, take off there hats, and respect the national anthem anywhere it is being played, are people who make me want to go ballistic.
