The United States flag does not wave because the wind blew past it. The United States flag flies from the last breath of each American soldier who died protecting it no matter what color or creed.
My father was in combat in both WWII and Korea. He often said that the best sight he ever saw was the American flag flying over base camp. It meant that they returned there safely. Not one to get easily choked up, he often did when recalling the sight.
