The Dominican flag is something valuable to me. It is from the Dominican Republic. When I immigrated to the United States, I thought I would not see it, but later I saw how Dominicans use it and put it in their homes. It reminded me of my country, since my mother had one there  great Dominican flag which I have admired since I was little. I liked the colors they have and their meaning .Blue represents the sky that covers the Homeland, that God protects the Dominican nation and the ideals of progress of the Dominicans. Red represents the blood spilled by the patriots in the battles to achieve independence. White represents peace and union among all Dominicans. Also his shield which has a bible in the center. This is very important to me because as a Dominican I am proud of my country and its history, which the flag represents us.
