Honoring sacrifices made for 50-state Union

May 26, 2017 12:00 am • Last Updated: May 30, 2017 9:51 am

Memorial Day is a day for remembering all those soldiers who have fought for this country during World War II and all other American wars. Fighting for our country, and to sustain peace and justice, is to remember the Constitution under the stars and stripes, forever.

The American flag stands for victory for all 50 states, all entered in the Union born of our fight for independence.

Each state does have different laws for its individual citizens to follow and obey. Obeying the statues of where one lives, works and plays contributes an influential role in developing and understanding the connections in a particular state.
