Some factions of the American society even try to ban it, but I think the flag means more than just "America!" I think it means "United We Stand" (against oppression, against tyranny, against jihadism, against any kind of evil). And I think it means "Watch Us Be Strong," or "Never Surrender." And if displaying the flag of your country can represent that to you--if it gives you strength to know that there are millions of compatriots who are fighting the fight with you---then it is a very good thing. I saw footage of French people displaying flags, or the colors as creatively as they could after the attacks on November 13. I saw the solidarity against evil. I saw that we had something else now in common, and I'm glad I have two little French flags in my own home, representing my French family far away in distance, but ever near in my heart.<br />France has to be alright. We all do. That's how we win.Lindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729656346990206611noreply@blogger.com
