the meaning of folding of american flag fold
Here's what I learned: Even though the practice of incorporating 13 folds did not begin because each fold had a specific meaning, specific meanings have subsequently come to be ascribed to each of the 13 folds. The American Flag is Folded 13 Times... The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.
