Symbolism

Using symbols to represent concepts, people, or events beyond their literal meaning.

President Trump just signed an executive order that if you burn the American flag, you will go to jail for one year.

Our flag represents America, its history, and everything we stand for. By burning our flag, you are desecrating America.

I don’t think that this comes under Freedom of Speech, but it will probably be argued against by the Left.

Remember the famous photo on Iwo Jima of the Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi in 1955? It symbolized bravery and victory.

It is about time that we show respect to our Flag, which represents our Country and those brave men and women who fought and died for America.
