United States of America love it or leave it. It is your choice, but don't try and change the way we live and what we believe in for the past 227 years as of 4 July 2003. I as well as others grew up on the values of the United States in our schools and other functions and now you want to destroy these values by removing them from our schools and functions.
This country was not started and built by one person. It took many as well as God. With out God nothing will be possible and with God all things are possible. The building block for this country is the Holy Bible. Our forefathers used the bible to write the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of this great nation.
People who want to remove God from our mottoes and songs, burn the flag, take prayer out of schools and remove the "I pledge Allegiance" from the schools, and all other functions need to learn the true meaning of each color of the flag. By removing the above is a descrase to ALL WHO GAVE SOME and SOME WHO GAVE ALL to keep this country and other countries free which you so much enjoy. What next, take away our National Anthem? I think not, in my lifetime. Go get another life and preferably in another country if you don’t love God, this country and the world.
If you’re a legal immigrant who comes to the United States and want to change our language, our way of life and has no desire of becoming a U.S. Citizen need to leave this country and go back were you came from. If you are not an U.S. Citizen you have no rights to anything in this country, you are just a visitor and can leave or be ask to leave anytime. It would be just like me coming and visiting you at your house and try and change your way of living to mine. You wouldn't like it too much and would more than likely ask me to leave and request me to never come back.

The colors and symbols/icons have many meanings to our flag. But do you know the true meaning of each color, symbol/icon. Many don't but when they see the United States flag, it stands for freedom but don't know the history behind our flag. When an U.S. ship flies the Jack on the bow while anchored at sea or in port, it is asking God in the heavens for guidance and safety of the ship and crew while at or away from their motherland the United States. When the ship pulls anchor she shifts colors and is ready to defend the motherland, ship and crew or any free country when in harms way wither naturally or man made.
The Colors:
(BLUE) Are the heavens, which came first.
(WHITE STARS) Are the windows to heaven, which came second. God gives each star a name as we did and named them for each state in the union.
(RED STRIPES) Is the blood that was spelt for this country, which is the First Stripe, which came third.
(WHITE STRIPES) Is the freedom for all to cherish and enjoy, which is the second stripe, which came forth.
See! The white strips would not have been made possible if it weren't for the red stripes. The red stripes would not have been made possible if it weren't for the stars. The stars would not have been made possible if it weren't for the heavens. The heavens would not have been made possible if it weren't for God.
We have 50 stars which represents each state of the United States and 13 stripes which represents the first 13 Colonies of the United States to make this country as we know today or at least knew before now.
If you are a United States citizen need to be or get patriotic! If not, than just keep it private and personal. Do not publicly display it or try and change it for you will do more damage and harm to all as well as yourself. If you want live in a communist and dictatorship community/country then go there, once there you will be back here in the U.S. quicker than you can say "I Made A Mistake".

If you joined the military for a paycheck, you joined for the wrong reason. You joined to serve and defend the people of the United States of America along with the rest of the free world when threatened by the unfree world to keep it free.
It would really be nice if the whole world can live in peace, harmony, happiness, be joyful and love one another. Would you like to go to special places and meet people in the world without being hurassed who are you, why you are here and for what reason.
I can really go on and on with this but the bottom line is it is up to you. You need to dig deeper and look up on history than what is on the surface because then and only then well you see the whole picture and just maybe you will turn on another light in your life.
