Submit Your Story

What does the American flag stand for? What does it mean to you? Is it a sacred symbol? Has it meant something important to you? Does it represent you? Have you ever used the flag to make a statement?

We want to hear from you! By submitting your photo and caption to our Flickr group, your story could become part of our flag! Your image can be a photo of you or of anything that represents what the flag means to you. Don’t forget to include a caption explaining what the flag means to you and how your photo reflects your point of view.
