The American Flag and Its Protocol. The Flag of the United States of America is a symbol of freedom and liberty to which Americans pledge their allegiance by standing at attention, facing the flag with the right hand over the heart, and reciting:
Red represents the blood shed by the Patriots who fought for independence. The colors of the US flag were taken from the colors of the British flag. At the time the flag was designed, the red did not mean anything in particular. Officially the red in the flag does not stand for anything. Since the creation of the flag many have suggested that the red could stand for different things such as the blood shed to bring about independence or courage, but these are meanings suggested after the fact and never officially attached to it.
