6. Listening
Listen to someone talking about the meaning of the American flag. Talk about Ukrainian flag like in the sample.
The flag is a symbol of our great nation. It is a symbol that represents not only who we are but also what we stand for and what we believe. Our flag is often taken for granted and its powerful symbolism ignored. There is great symbolism in the flag that we seem to have forgotten. We sometimes need a reminder that we have a star spangled banner for a reason.
THE THIRTEEN STRIPES
The flag consists of thirteen stripes, 7 red stripes that alternate with
6 white stripes. We started with only thirteen colonies that stood against the oppression of the British Empire. These colonies became the thirteen original states. It was from these humble beginnings that the United States grew to be one of the greatest nations in the entire world. These stripes re- mind us of our proud beginnings and of our resolve to be free.
THE FIELD OF BLUE
The field of blue represents the freedom to expand and explore the world and beyond. We need to remember that when the flag was created; there was much of the country yet to be explored. This same spirit applies to the fields of medicine, exploration and the frontiers of space. We are a people that love to discover, to enlighten, and to create.
THE FIFTY STARS
The flag originally only had thirteen stars with thirteen stripes. When additional states were added to the nation a new star was added to the flag. The stars represent the hope and prosperity that exists in the fifty states that make up our nation. Now our United States are represented by fifty stars, one per state. The stars represent the hope that our nation shows to the entire world.
The colors of the flag stand for far more than most of us realize. The red, white and blue stand for more than just national colors or colors avail- able at the time.
