The American Flag In 'War Is Kind'

What does the American Flag mean to me? It means freedom,respect,equal right, faith and hope. Soldiers help protect this country, they fight for us, they give up everything for us. People don’t know how important the flag is. The flag means our country’s freedom. When I look up at the flag, I see people, not just any people, the great Americans that have fought for this country.

When you see the American flag, what is the first thing that pops into your head? Is it a war? A relative? A political leader? What? For me, I usually think of the Star Spangled Banner. I grew up on a military base in Germany. If the flag were being raised or lowered, you would see soldiers, and even civilians, standing at attention, saluting the flag. In a parade, as the flag was being carried in front by one of the brigades, everyone held his or her hand over his or her heart as the flag passed that person. Even in the theaters, before the movie would start, the Star Spangled Banner would be played while scenes of American flags in battles and peacetime were on the screen and everyone would stand, either at attention or with

The Flag that stands tall in our country could be defined in many different ways. Many people may say “oh the 13 stripes are because of the 13 colonies and the fifty states are the fifty stars. These people are just repeating the literal meaning, but these people don’t understand the true meaning of the American Flag. The American Flag represents opportunity, unity, and the pursuit of your dreams.

Robin Williams performed a routine as if he was the American Flag. Williams performed in a crowd of young adults to adults. He had a funny but also serious attitude while executing this act. He was making points to the audience for why the flag should mean so much to our country, and he made a reflection off of it to show how our country runs. It seems as if Robin Williams was being paid to run this act in front of an audience. Robin Williams described the history of the flag and what it symbolizes most. The flag can be considered part of our government and it represents the people of

IT'S NOT FAIR! … or is it? Whether you agree with the outcome of Texas v. Johnson, American Flag Stands for Tolerance, or The Lottery the final ruling shows no discriminate difference about who's involved. Many people feel the outcome should be different based on personal feelings or closeness to the situation.

What does the United States flag mean to me.The United States flag means a lot to me because it represents the country I live in. The United States flag makes me feel home.I drive by homes, grocery stores, restaurants, and so many other places and see the beautiful United States flag. Every morning I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. I love the colors and I always remember 50 stars fifty states 13 stripes thirteen colonies. I also remember the white signifies purity and innocence, red signifies valor and bravery, and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justices. We raise the flag in honor and in memory of those who have and/or are serving. The flag if flown at half-staff to show the live we have lost. The

The tones of the Texas vs Johnson and The American Flag Stands For Tolerance have opposite tones because of the context of both documents.

In light of recent events, debate has sprung out over the implications of the Confederate States of America’s battle flag. One side strongly argues that it is a sign of intolerance, racism, and hatred. The other strongly disagrees that it is a sign of southern pride, heritage, and states’ rights. The rebel flag is often misconstrued as something hateful, but it still represented a system relying on slave labor and a confederacy that was against the union. The flag shouldn’t be used on official government facilities, but should still be available to the public as a way of exercising free speech rights.

Grey uniforms, so often pierced with bullets from the other side, were proudly donned by the men of this nation from 1861 until 1865. These men fought tirelessly and honorably for their beliefs, and throughout each battle, carried the battle flag of the Confederacy. Throughout the Civil War, this flag took six different forms, for design flaws led to confusion on the battlefield. Each soldier, standing tall, did not fight for a flag, but under it. As an emblem of courage and honor, and a representation of their way of life, the “Rebel Flag” still stands as a symbol of pride in the southern United States. South Carolina’s contest of whether or not to permanently lower the flag flying over state grounds has aroused the question of the true meaning of the “Navy Jack” banner. American history has lent endless resources to the discovery of this meaning. The causes of the war, the history of the Confederate Flag’s origin, the truth about racism and slavery, and the disproving of supposed offensiveness of a piece of cloth all play an integral role in the argument opposing the flag’s removal.

On July 4th, Americans remember and celebrate the Declaration of Independence. The nation pauses to commemorate the actions of the Founding Fathers, who led the way in the effort—now known as the American Revolution— to break apart from Britain. The American flag flies proudly across the land, its red, white and blue, its stars and its stripes, serving as a symbol of American pride. The flag of the Confederacy, however, is often met with scorn, revulsion, and censorship, as many Americans see it as a symbol of an ideology irreconcilable with modern views on equality and individual liberty. The Civil War, fought between the Confederate states and the union from which they seceded, is remembered in a far different (and darker) light than the Revolution. But in both conflicts, a subset of a larger constituency sought to break away from actual, perceived and potential limitations on economic activity and political and social equality, and the larger body sought to preserve the hegemony of the pre-existing government. Strangely, comparisons between the origins and fallouts of the two conflicts can indeed be drawn, if only to a limited extent.

Explained by the author, Judy Bray Garrison, the opinion section of the Morning Call is begging the question in this type of fallacy by assuming everyone knows the American flag represents proper respect for the United States men and women who served our country in order to defend our freedom. There are different meanings by the way the flag is display known as the “flag code” that spells out the protocol to define how to demonstrate respect. Students in school should return to stating the pledge of allegiance to their flag and break down the sentences to learn the sacrifices made for which it stands. When children destroy a display of 250 flags while laughing at the sight, showing disrespect to those who took the time and money to purchase

The flag of the United States is our national symbol and our most important symbol of all; it symbolizes our nation’s strength and pride. Due to its high values and symbolism, by 1932, forty-eight states had adopted the flag desecration laws to legally protect and restrict desecration of the flag of the United States. However, these flag desecration laws only lasted until 1989, because in 1989, in the Texas v Johnson case, the United States Supreme Court recognized that flag desecration as a form of symbolic political speech that is constitutionally protected by First Amendment and agreed that the “government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable”( ).

The poet then presents a scene of patriotic relevance as he describes a scene of a regiment marching into battle with their “flag” and “Eagle with crest of red and gold” (17-18). When people think of flags, they think of patriotism and representing their country. Eagles also symbolize freedom but as readers can witness in the work, the poet makes it seem as if these men were created not to enjoy the gift of life for one moment by him saying “These men were born to drill and die” (19). This comes across to the reader as almost inhumane. Then by illustrating an image of a field of thousands of dead corpses makes any reader wonder why people even go to war. The whole fourth stanza paints a picture of living human being going into a battle with most, if not any, making it out alive. Like stated before, the speaker in the poem builds a case for those people that opposed to war even though the title of the poem might

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, Italy. She came from a wealthy family. As a child she had a vivid imagination, was considered a dreamer and often dreamed of helping others. Nightingale was well educated, a benefit of her family’s wealth and her fathers belief in education, even for women. She studied all of the basic subjects, such as history, math, philosophy, science, music and art. She also learned five different languages. At a very young age she discovered her passion for mathematics. This was not considered an important subject for women so Nightingale had to beg her parents to let her study mathematics.

Doctors have to start the treatment without the complete information of patient’s medical history, which sometimes, is life threatening for the patient. Technologies could be used in healthcare sector to provide better healthcare facilities and reduce the operations costs. In our country we see that there is scarcity of doctors, nurses and pharmacy. But still there is rapid growth in healthcare services, while diseases are becoming more complex. More and more new and efficient diagnostic techniques and new way of treatments are being developed and used in healthcare sector so as to provide the patients with best possible treatment and in their budget. Many healthcare organizations are providing different kind of services to cater to highly diversified economic population which in turn has resulted in competition in the market. So the organizations which do not perform well are out of business. [3][4] As healthcare providers need cost effective automating processes which gives more profits, cloud computing will provide perfect platform in the healthcare information technology space. Many hospitals may share infrastructure with large number of systems linked together. By this pooling the hospitals automatically reduce the cost and increase utilization. The resources are delivered only when they are required. This also means realtime availability of patient information for doctors, nursing staff and
