Ditto, @Carolina925 !   Thank you for the reminder, and that wonderful close-up of the rippling banner we love.

 

The beauty and dynamism of Old Glory is unique.  Never tire of all its manifestations, and what it means.

 

Good excuse to revisit Childe Hassam's glorious oil studies of the flag--

 

I think these first three are flag scenes in New York:

Love our beautiful American flag!

 

The color red symbolizes valor and bravery.

White symbolizes purity and innocence.

Blue symbolizes vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
