Sixth fold = for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America, and to the republic for which it stands, one
nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all.

Seventh fold = a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the
Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag
against all enemies, whether they be found within or
without the boundaries of our republic. .jpg)
Eighth fold = a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the
shadow of death, that we might see the light of day,
and to honor our mother, for whom it flies on Mother’s
Day.

faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the
men and women who have made this country great have
been molded.
Tenth fold = a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and
daughters for the defense of our country since he or she
was first born.

and Jacob. .bmp)

When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today.
