LKNConnect would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of our service men and women who have given their lives to protect this country. Although we can’t have the ceremonies that are typical of this day, we would like to honor and remember them by sharing with you the symbolism of the folded American flag.
from the National Flag Foundation
is a symbol of life.
is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life.
is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world.
represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance.
is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s Day.
is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded.
is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.
represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.
reminding us of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”
