What does the American flag stand for?

The Cloth

With a root of profoundness and sincerity, the American flag, is simply the ultimate symbol for what this country stands for. When our flag waves, it stands as a salute of respect, as something to look up to, as something greater than ourselves. President Abraham Lincoln once said, supporting his war strategies for the Civil War that his “paramount object in this struggle is to save the union…” This statement came out of the ever growing passion Lincoln had for preserving the unity of America and all it stood for. And this alone amplifies the solid foundation of which we were built on, something to base our manner from for the rest of time.
With all our leaders and overcome battles, America has come to be known as the land of freedom and opportunities, as the refuge from the more restraining parts of the world, and people know this through stories, through experience, through dreams. People see the United States as a fresh breath, a second chance where they can become and do all that they have dreamed for. The world associates America with its brilliant aspects by one look at what it has been clad in: cloth. The United States flag is simply a cloth. It is stitched together intricately with three bold colors and it is firmly held in place as the final design of years and years of history, history which focuses in to the collection of stitches representing every American ever to bare life. It is what reminds us that we are human, that we are a nation, that we are a family. A family that stands upon the world shining like fifty stars in a corner of a grand population. This cloth is everything that America has always known: unity, freedom, patriotism and devotion to proudly standing our ground and saluting to the one fabric that unites us no matter what our past has wrapped us in.

It is more of a patriotic thing and not something dealing with the exact details of what the flag is and what it stands for literally. I read the paper of the girl who won last year and it didn’t include any of that.
