We have all seen the blue line on bumper stickers, shirts, flags, police cruisers, etc. The thin blue line represents police officers and law enforcement men and women separating order from chaos, or victims from criminals. While some police believe that the line separates life and death from being in harm's way every day. The American flag has all color removed from it showing sadness and peril from fallen brothers and sisters in law enforcement and the evils in the country. The blue line represents the brotherhood and the thin line that all upstanding officers must walk to ensure evil doesn't win.In all actuality, the thin blue line was used to represent the United States Army back in 1911 when their uniforms were blue. It is derived from the thin red line which is from a battle formation in 1854.  The thin blue line first became associated with law enforcement and police officers in a documentary in 1966 depicting the brotherhood of those in law enforcement. There are also some negative thoughts on the blue line throughout society, however, this American blue line flag simply shows support for police, fallen officers, and their duty to the areas they serve.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, it is a symbol of law enforcement "in the context of maintaining order during unrest." Basically, the police (the thin blue line) separate chaos from order or criminals from victims. A police department in Connecticut says that the black areas the blue line separate actually represents life and death, and we do see this symbol very often used to honor an officer killed in the line of duty.  It is a blue line as that is the traditional colors of police uniforms, while the black is used as a stark contrast for the blue line.Interestingly enough the first use of the thin blue line in America actually represented the US Army (at this time the U.S. soldiers wore blue uniforms) in a poem from 1911. This poem tweaked the original "thin red line" which dates back to 1854 and referenced a battle formation.  The first use of the thin blue line to represent police and law enforcement is found in 1966 when used in a documentary exploring the brotherhood of police officers. There are also some negative connotations to the flag used throughout society, however, this flag really is used to show support for police and their job to the communities they serve.

The red line represents the men and women who risk their own health, safety, and lives to protect us, our pets, and our property against fires, explosions, spills, crashes, floods, heart attacks, smoke, and other dangerous situations. The thin red line flag also is flown to show respect to the fallen and injured heroes that were killed or injured in the line of duty within a fire department. Interestingly enough the thin red line also represents "the thin red line of courage" of firefighters. They must muster up every single ounce of courage and bravery each and every time on duty to conquer their deepest and darkest fears so that they can save lives and protect personal property. The thin red line originally came about in 1854 and had nothing to do with fire departments or firefighters. It was actually a saying representing a British military formation. According to folklore the red line first became associated with fire departments when a handful of young firefighters in North Carolina wanted to poke fun at the local cops. They all painted their license plates black and put red electrical tape in the center to mimic what the officers had on their vehicles. It has become iconic and grown in popularity since then.

Stories and folklore show the red line being used for fire departments originally in 1996-1997 when about a dozen young and eager firefighters wanted to make fun of their local law enforcement officers who always had the black plates with a thin blue line. These young men would ask the police what it meant and they received so many different stories of its meaning to many saying they didn't have a clue it became a running joke between these men.
