Freedom

The red, white and blue.
The freedom, courage, and respect.

Freedom. Men and women fight on the front lines of danger to protect. Red: bravery, passion and bloodshed. Strangers turn into family. Brothers and sisters to love and protect as your own. Family bound by the red, white and blue.

Courage. Each last breath given for America. The act of running into crossfire, not away from it. The will to carry on, even when you can no longer fight. Knowing that by your own death, you have brought new life to others. Covered in an eternal white. Underground, but never forgotten.

Respect. Unity and family in purpose. 1.4 million people, 0.4 percent of America’s population in the military moving together as one. Blue: never leaving a fellow soldier behind; whether it is in the air, on deck, or in the field. Soldiers fighting for the love they leave behind, not the hate in front of them. The American uniform, the only one that shows a true hero.

The red, white and blue.
The valour, innocence and perseverance.
