We create symbols when something memorable happens or even a historical event, when something memorable or historical happens you would like to remember that event or honor it in some way correct? Some people needs symbols for encouragement or to believe in something they stand for.The Americanflag would be considered a symbol because it shows freedom of this country it shows that we as a country have been through a lot together,we stand togetherwe or are united in some way. I think that’s what the American flag stands for
