We stand for our National Anthem not because we are forced but because we still can. For we understand that freedom isn’t a guarantee and many have bled and died to continue to allow it to exist. From the solider across the waters who is willing to give it all up so we don’t have to as well as the civil rights worker trying to expand the rights and freedoms of others to the child who sells her first glass of lemonade teaching us a dollar lesson in freedom. We stand for all Americans of every stripe and star who in their own way enhance this land we live in. This nation is not perfect but has put in the mechanism to continue to perfect itself. In truth we stand for love of each other for although we might appear to have vast differences the flag brings us together in unity of love and purpose for this country as well as what it continues to strive to become under G-D.
