The First Amendment states, in relevant part, that: “Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech.” Freedom of speech includes the right: Not to speak (specifically, the right not to salute the flag).
Explanation:
These are the three most important reasons you should respect and honor the American flag. 1. To honor our service men and women. We respect the American flag to honor all of the service men and women who are overseas, who died in the line of duty, disabled veterans, or retired veterans. These men and women put their lives on the line defending our country. 2. To honor America's first responders.
