Why I Still Stand for the Flag 09/01/2016 I had to wait several days for the steam to blow over before posting this. I never thought in a million years that I would ever have to justify why I stand in honor while the national anthem plays and the American flag is lifted. I stand to honor the sacrifice, not the oppression. I stand for all of the men and women who have shed blood for my freedom. I stand for every child who had to wave 'goodbye' to mommy and daddy. I stand for every husband and wife who won't have their spouse return
