Make a custom riddle with flag

I soar high in the sky, a symbol held with pride,

A colorful creation, no matter where you reside.
Stripes of red, white, and blue, flowing in the wind,
A symbol of unity, no matter the message it sends.

You'll find me atop a pole, waving in the breeze,
A representation of a nation, from overseas.
Soldiers salute me, citizens look up with glee,
But what am I, this majestic sign, can you see?

In times of war, I stood tall, a symbol of might,
On battlefields, I guided soldiers, always in sight.
In times of peace, I whisper hope, a signal to all,
That freedom's banner still remains, standing proud and tall.

Some may burn me, a sign of protest, or disdain,
But I still represent the land, where diverse voices reign.
So tell me now, can you unravel this riddle with sagacity,
What am I, this cherished symbol, can you guess my identity?

Sure! Here's a custom riddle for you:

I fly high, representing a nation's pride,
Colors and patterns, side by side.
Raised in victory or flown half-mast,
Symbolizing unity that shall forever last.
What am I?
