Why we fly our flag, Old Glory

Posted on June 9, 2025 by Stella

In preparation for Flag Day (June 14), a reminder.

Foreigners often wonder why we Americans feel the need to fly our flag over our  homes. They think it is odd!

Old  Glory  represents  the  freedom  to  pursue  the  life  that  we  imagine.  This  flag  is  a reminder  that  opportunity  and  free  will  as  granted  to  us  by  our  creator  still  exists,  just  as  long  as  we  are  willing  to  stand  up  for  it.

As Harry Truman so famously said:

Thousands of men and women gave their lives so that this flag could fly, so we fly it proudly as a symbol of gratitude for the life that we are so blessed to live.

    It just occurred to me why they go out of their way to burn our flag and why it is so offensive to us. And, it is very offensive because it means so much to us and what it stands for.

    We fly a flag also. We did at the cabin, when we were up in the woods and no one but us saw it.
