Symbol to a Country
America is not without trial and tribulation. It has experienced
great success, growth, and prosperity but always at a price.
Maintaining a free country that is full of prosperity and
opportunity requires much. Events within our history are
commonly if not always accompanied by the symbol of the flag.
