Flag desecration

Sewing the Stars and Stripes We have seen many things made for the first time, but by far the most iconic may be the first official sewn flag of the United States. Betsy Ross was the woman that did just that. Ross had other accomplishments besides this but the flag was by far her most iconic achievement. Throughout Ross’ lifetime came many hardships and struggles. Today Ross is seen as an iconic woman figure in history. Betsy Ross was born in Pennsylvania and remained there most of her life.…

Our Flag Have you ever put deep thought into something that seemed so simple? The 13 red and white stripes, and 50 white stars outlined in blue are truly more than a piece of cloth. The United States Flag is a beautiful symbol of America. When I glance at the American flag, the feeling of pride fills my body. I am very proud to live in America, where our soldiers fought proudly with the flag by their side. I am proud to be able to gaze at the symbol of the United States every day, and remember…

I see it in sports a lot. In the NFL a dude called Colin Kaepernick started this whole debate when he kneeled during the national anthem. This rose a lot of controversy because a lot of people don’t think that it’s right. It also got too out of hand because people misunderstood what he was doing and it got into a big mess. This I think represents nationalism well because the people who caused a mess really was proud of their nation and had strong thought about that, so they stood up for what the…

As I was being escorted down a highway in Jeddah to go meet my dad at work I came across a flag no eye could miss. A symbol reminiscent to the pride in the American flag. It was the flag of the country I was visiting during last spring break, Saudi Arabia. I had not been used to the timezone for four long years, however this kept me awake. It was almost as if the 588 foot tall flag was saying “peace be upon you”, a traditional saudi greeting as it waved right below the golden sun. I was even…

of American flags for a national magazine. Bellamy took the job opportunity and created the Pledge of Allegiance. In 1892 the Pledge of Allegiance was published for the first time in the magazine, The Youth Companion. In 1898 New York became the first state to legislate the requirement to making it a part of a morning flag salute in schools. By 1917 pledging allegiance to the flag became a fixture of public education in America. In 1942 Congress adopted it as part of a national flag code…

disrespecting the American Flag. That action is not right; just because President Trump made a wrong decision that doesn't mean that now NFL players can make their own rules. The NFL players deserve to be punished for their actions. If NFL players are allowed to sit or kneel down during the National Anthem, then why can't we do the same? It's not right to just give up on our Nations flag. Many Americans get in trouble these days for doing insane things like perhaps burning the American flag,…

The moment I saw those two terrifying words, I knew my agony would begin. Poetry Analysis. My professor handed me instructions for a brand new analytical essay assignment that was meant to be completed within a week. According to my professor’s syllabus, the assignment was predictable. I knew one day this essay would be a challenge for me to face with. I despised reading poems throughout my high school years. Yet, was it a possibility for me to actually adore reading poems? On a cloudy…
