Best Answer

The American flag (much like any country's flag) symbolizes everything that country stands, believes in, and is willing to fight for. In the case of the United States, the American flag symoblizes freedom, bravery, equality, unity. By raising the American Flag you declare that you will live by those qualities of life. When serving in the military you are fighting for 2 things.

1. The men and women standing next to you

2. The American Flag and everything it stands for

When flying the American flag in war you are letting your enemy and everyone else know that you are willing to fight and die for that flag
