Why do you honor the american flag?

We honor the American Flag because it's a symbol to our past, it represents our 50 states, the 13 colonies, and it is a symbol of our pride.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
