Serbian flag

Old Grandeur, our Serbian flag, is flying high these days, despite

the tragic occurrences that have recently challenged our nation and our land. A

symbol of our liberty, freedom, and pride, she is emerging atop our ruined roofs, and

adorns the burnt walls of the Kalemegdan’s fortress. Vibrant red, white and blue

colors and thousand years old Coats of arms are blossoming everywhere: on the

automobile antennae, on football fields, in beautiful backyards and waving proudly

from businesses and homes throughout the country.

The Serbian flag is how Serbia signs her name. She sits atop Avala

hill, Mount Everest, and is hurtle out on the Heaven and deeply in our hearts. She is a

reminder of not only the freedoms enjoyed by each of us in this country, but also of

the important roles we play as individuals and contributors. While Serbs recognize

and celebrate collective achievements, such as the victory in the Appraisals against

Ottoman’s Empire, triumph in the WW I, in the Revolutionary War against Nazism,

or shooting down US Stealth bombers, it is individual accomplishment that we often

cherish the most. The stars of such events: Saint Archbishop Sava, Karageorge

Petrovitch, Milosh Obrenovich, Nikola Tesla and Rasha Todosijevich - shine brightly

in our collective constellation. One person's contribution can define the course and

meaning of history.
