Missed this one. Especially amidst current events and Internet's allure to pull people toward genetic loyalties. Understanding that the flag of United States of America does indeed represent a New World. Yes, we brought along many ills of the past, but today we remain a place for hope and second chances. And we must still fight to keep it alive.

BTW. The flag of a local H.S. was taken down and only flys during football games. Feels like European sentiment (after attending a couple of games).
