Invented on January, 1776, I am always celebrated each year on June 14. I am your American flag and I have seen many changes throughout my life, I used to be a unifying factor to the nation when it experienced both peace o r difficulties. People from different religion, background and race all used to live in harmony and unity knowing they are unified by the same American flag. People used to be a team but currently no one cares about my unifying factor.

I not only used to be a national icon but a cultural symbol too, it’s a shame that nowadays only a few want to be associated with me and acknowledge my importance.

Recent report shows that on June 2015, more than 11,000 American citizens signed a petition for an inclusion of gay colors (rainbow) in the American flag. This was after the Supreme Court legalized gay rights which is a good thing to all American citizens however, America has citizens who have different perception to gay rights hence they shouldn’t be compromised to support what they think is not good or infringes their rights. I have been there since 1776 indiscriminately of either you are gay or not hence the issue of changing my color is not of utmost importance.
Where is the respect that used being there in schools, streets and offices when a flag is raised up or lowered down? Is my importance known to you when you mourn your fellow citizens? People would stand still when am either lowered or raised irrespective of who you are where are. Currently they care less of any activity associated with me, people have gone ahead to mock me by painting their ceilings and utensils the color of American flag. Cloths are made with the same colors as the flag by people who don’t know my importance or appreciate
