"The Sundry Stars and Stripes" (in revision)

Would you please edit my essay on "What the United States Flag Stands For?" Thanks, faithful followers.



The magnificent mark of Betsy Ross on America, its majestic flag, reveals the ideals of supreme service, pervasive purity, and vibrant veracity. It is the archetype of the rule of the majority, and the prototype of the rights of the minority.

Sacrifice founded and even now demonstrates the promenading beauty of America. The crimson tinge shimmers in the hearts of the masses, summoning stance for the independence that Our Revolution first fought for over two-hundred years ago. With blood dripping from the veins, the flag harkens to America that it must keep fighting for freedom, for tradition, for democracy.

The Flag of the United States is a bellwether beacon of the integrity of the nation and the creative goodness of freedom. America exudes luminescence from its core, from the very ivory hue of the flag. America lets its light shine to the world as the flag shines rays of democracy onto the masses. The flag asserts that America should be a country in which the white stripes never grey with blame. It holds fast to a patriotism that knows that it is both, as the word patriotism itself suggests, paternal and riotous. For an insurrection to promote righteousness is never scorned in the face of a purer nation.

But the capstone of America is that it rests upon a history of truth. The royal blue background of the flag behind the starry sky calls to mind that America is in quest of facts. In the journey for purity and righteous revolution, sober judgment and a basis in imaginative realism allow us to be really free. Extraordinary reliance on actuality sets up America as a demonstrably good reference point for democracy.

Indeed, the flag buttresses the American life with a desire for foundational goodness. We stack up hopes to be above reproach and to be held together by the honor of the people. The breath-taking autonomy of the uniquely pure, truth-seeking, shielding country makes us truly the land of the lavishly liberated and home of the honored heroes.
