Believe the American Flag Should Be Treated with Respect? Here’s the Right Way.

For more than 200 years, the American flag has been a source of pride and reverence for citizens of the Unites States. Among those citizens, Scouts young and old are known for their deep respect for The Stars and Stripes and are even called to be reverent in the Scout Law. A symbol of strength and unity, the American flag is one of the most treasured and powerful representations of Americanism, so it’s important to treat the flag with the utmost regard.

As we honor and thank the countless men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces this Veteran’s Day, we look to the flag with admiration and appreciation. Veterans have played an essential role in protecting the liberties and rights that the American flag represents.
