#249: Stand and Salute

When the national anthem is sung or the pledge of allegiance recited, does your son stand and salute the flag? Since 1777, the American flag has stood as a powerful symbol of American liberty and justice. The stars and stripes remind us of the sacrifice that many men and women gave so that we can enjoy this land of the free.Teach your son the meaning of the flag’s colors. White signifies purity and innocence. Red indicates courage. And blue is a sign of perseverance and justice.Even though the flag is a simple piece of nylon fabric, it represents the history, values, and strength of our great nation. Train your son to stand and salute the flag, and in this way honor our American heritage.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
