Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly, and if left unresolved you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.

The Folded Flag

The Folded Flag

Have you ever watched a Service member fold our great flag? The US folded flag symbolizes honor, respect, and sacrifice for those who have served their country in the armed forces. The folding of the flag is a solemn and meaningful tradition that dates back to the early days of the United States. The flag-folding ceremony is a custom that involves two or more uniformed military members carefully folding the flag, with each fold holding a specific symbolic meaning. The folded flag is presented to the next of kin or an appropriate representative at a funeral or other military ceremony, along with a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the service and sacrifice of the deceased. The triangular shape of the folded flag is said to represent the tri-corner hat worn by the Continental Army during the American Revolution, as well as the shape of the folded flag carried by soldiers and sailors during the Civil War. Each of the 13 folds of the flag holds a specific symbolic meaning, representing the values and beliefs held by the American people. The first fold represents life, the second fold represents a belief in eternal life, and the third fold represents honor and remembrance of the veterans who have served in defense of their country. The fourth fold represents trust in God, the fifth fold symbolizes gratefulness and thanks, and the sixth fold represents the dedication and devotion of the United States armed forces. The remaining folds represent tributes to the country, its people, and its history. Overall, the US folded flag is a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces and a reminder of the values and beliefs that are important to the American people.
