Flag Persuasive Speech

The U.S. is in a tough spot and has been since 9/11. Although, from the Presidents to fighting off our enemies, we still stand. Florida nightclub shooting has been another big one since 9/11. The Florida attack was topped U.S. mass shooting to ever happen since 9/11. The terrorist took 49 lives and injured 50 people. That night, the U.S. stood in silence and gathered with families and still held the flag high. Even after that night, we still held our ground. People doubt the U.S. and say that we do not stand up for our own anymore when we do. Not only do we stand with our own country, we stand with others. When Paris had their first big attack in November of 2015, we helped them by sending them our gratitude, our troops, and support. We do

not have to go to war to show that we protect our own. We can do simple things like helping other countries to show that we are not weak.
(c)The flag is divided up between the colors red, white, and blue for specific representations.

The 50 stars are the states in the U.S. and the red and white stripes represent the 13 colonies. The flag should always be raised between sunrise and sunset. At night, it should be above a spotlight that can make the flag clearly visible and the flag should not be torn or damaged. On holidays such as July 4th, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, etc., it should be raised if not already. Showing what it means to be proud of your country is exactly what these firefighters did. The firefighters are showing their love by raising the flag from the ground to show that we have not fallen. Every day, there are cops, soldiers, firefighters, etc., who put their life on the line to protect our freedom from those who try to destroy

that.
Patriotism means having love for your country.

The firefighters who took their time out of trying to clean up all the rebel, made sure the flag was raised at ground zero. That is what patriotism is and shows what it means to have true love for your country. There are many other ways to show patriotism to your country. When the National Anthem is on, we stand, put our hand on our hearts, and remove our hats. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we stand with our hand on our heart and remove our hats as well. It is also required that we stand in silence and face the flag during the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance. We are thanking the people who have fought for our country and have protected our freedom and the people who are still defending our country. Patriotic also means to be respectful of one’s kind. In the Declaration of Independence, it clearly states that all men and women are created equal. The Declaration of Independence is what this country was built upon and what it was known for. The world and society are built upon hate when we should be respecting one another and not judging them for their color and religion. The U.S. was known for accepting everyone in for who they are and not what they look

like.
