The flag of the United States stands for so many things that this country has seen. To me, it is interesting to think of how much the flag meant to the founding fathers and veterans alike. The flag has been a symbol of hope in tough times for America. It has stood through the times of trial and also the times of victory. It has been flying through rebuilding and reconstruction.
The flag is a very comparable symbol to our citizenship. It is something to be proud of, something that you will always have no matter what. It joins you with other people in the country and gives you a common interest. Citizenship, to me, is very important to me and something I am so fortunate for. I consider myself extremely blessed to live in the United States and have the life I do. That's what being a citizen means to me.
