Symbols

An interesting online comment I found in relation to the whole Colin Kaepernick coffeepot controversy:

The National Anthem and the U.S. Flag are symbols of this country, its freedom, its rights and the men and women who have fought, died and been 'scarred' for the rest of their lives to protect all of us and these rights and freedom.

Then what, one wonders, are the symbols of the rest of us?
