美国国旗是民主的象征，无数男人和女人，为了捍卫它献出了自己的生命。

第一眼看上去，美国国旗就是一块彩布，然而，这意味着我们的尊严。我们可以通过几分钟，学习下如何正确的叠国旗，这事一个简单可行的过程。

折叠美国船旗

美国国旗，同时作为美国船旗，在海上作为国家的海洋标志试用。

折叠国旗，至少需要两个人来操作，同时拉紧需要折叠的国旗。持有象征州（50个小星星）的人保持稳定，对面的人进行三角折叠。

第一步是下面的条纹部分上折到蓝色区域，折叠后上边是一个开放的边缘。

再次上折，原先的对角线上折到开放边缘，露出蓝色区域。

折叠条纹部分的边角，两个开放边缘对齐平行，折出第一个三角。

以第一个折的边缘为线，向内折，保持上部边缘的对齐于平行，折出第二，第三个折。

重复折叠，保持每一个三角都要绷紧，平整。

剩余的部分塞到由三角形成的口袋里。稍微折叠下剩余部分，保持三角形的轮廓。

折叠国旗的历史故事

在美国的军队，每天国旗降下，折成三角保持整个晚上，以纪念为美国国家光荣牺牲的人。第二天早上，带着它，在起床号的仪式上，高举它，作为军人身体和信仰复活的象征。

The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

第一折，是生命的象征。

The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.

第二折，是永恒的人生信念的象征。

The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks, and who gave a portion of his or her life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.

The fourth fold represents our weaker nature; as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace, as well as in times of war, for His divine guidance.

The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right, but it is still our country, right or wrong.”

The sixth fold is 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.

The seventh fold is 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.

The eighth fold is 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.

The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded.

The 10th fold is 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.

The 11th fold, in the eyes of Hebrew citizens, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The 12th fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost.

第十二折，在一个基督教徒的眼中，代表着永恒和完美的象征在他们眼里，圣父，圣子和圣灵。

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

当国旗完全折叠，星星是最上面，提醒我们的国家格言，“我们相信上帝。
