The understanding of God‚ Flag‚ and Country‚ is something that I strongly grasp as a young American. In my life I have witnessed the amazing things these they do in our lives. To me‚ God has always helped in life through problems that I have faced. However‚ soldiers that are fighting for our country have kept God close to their fearless hearts.

American flag‚ goes back to 1907. Showing disrespect toward our Nation’s flag is intolerable. People have freedom of speech‚ but do not need to show their opinion through burning the American flag.
