The Honor and Remember Flag

The Honor and Remember Flag was created to serve as a national symbol that specifically acknowledges the sacrifice of men and women in the United States Armed Forces who have given their lives for their country in over two centuries of America's history.

The Red Field represents the blood spilled by the brave men and women in America's military throughout our history, who gave their lives so that our nation would remain free.

The White Field below the gold star recognizes the purity of sacrifice.  There is no greater price an American can pay than to give his or her life in service to our country.

The Blue Star represents active service in military conflict.  This symbol originated with World War I, but on this flag it signifies service in all wars from the American Revolution to present day.

The Gold Star signifies the ultimate sacrifice of a warrior in active service who will not return home.  Gold reflects the value of the life that was given.

The Folded Flag signifies the final tribute to an individual life presented to the family for their significant loss.

The Flame is an eternal reminder of the spirit that has departed this life yet burns on in the memory of all who knew and loved the fallen hero

We will always Honor their selfless sacrifice and Remember them individually by name.

Introduction

The power of symbols and symbolic communication is intriguing. Whether it is with carefully crafted words, brilliant artwork, or the standard of a nation, symbols quickly and succinctly communicate a multitude of messages to us. Of all the symbols that are in the world around us few elicit the emotional responses that a flag does.

The flag communicates with elegant simplicity. It represents the history of our nation, its values, its hopes for the future, and the highest ideals that move it toward its ultimate destiny in the world. The flag brings back memories of victories, accomplishments and challenges overcome. It reminds us of the foundations upon which we are built and then impels us onward to new achievements in the ongoing chapters of our nation's history.
