Have you ever wondered what a symbol is? Ask your self that. To answer that you can’t think of a specific one. We create symbols when we have to. Have you ever seen a team, country, team, anything besides a person have a symbol? I take that back, even people have symbols. Look at the President of the United States. Even regular people today have symbols for themselves. We create symbols when we need something bigger than words to describe something. There is an old saying still used today what states that a picture is worth a thousand words. Your brain processes pictures 80,000 times faster than a word. That is why things have symbols. One of our questions is why would that American Flag be considered a symbol. My answer is it symbolises the United States. It’s colors the stars and stripes show what America really is. They represent each state and part of the Untied States, and everybody in America. The American flag has been called a “living symbol”. I believe they call it that becase it shows a group of people and it brings a group of people together. It represents more than just a piece of land. It represents a nation full of people and it’s history and what the United States stands for ever second of every day. To me it symbolizes a nation. It shows how everything this country has gone through and how we still stand strong.
This is a picture of an American Flag rising after the September 11th Terrorist Attacks. This was America’s Darkest day in history. We rose that flag to honor those Amercan’s that died. We also rose it to show how we are still standing after a tragety.
I asked my brother once what does the American Flag mean to him. he siad that it meant What America is. It stands for freedom, justice, honor, and it stands for the land and everyone it it. 
Let me ask you this what does this mean to you?
