@pandaplodder As I stated previously, the United Nations flag represents world peace (especially the olive branch part of the flag). I was honoring the American veterans of WWII (the military cemetery clip was filmed at Colma, California), but I also wanted to be inclusive of all nations. The jollity theme was represented by fireworks which I associate with the Fourth of July here in the U.S., so I used an American flag and the Statue of Liberty. No offense intended.

@LoveMightyBoosh131 I showed the American flag because that part of the music became a hymn called "I Vow to Thee, My Country" -- the U.S.A. is my country. It's more associated with the UK, but the hymn doesn't specify a nation. The United Nations flag is to advocate peace as the hymn does. The hymn mentions sacrifice for love of country, represented by the graves of WWII veterans and the Eternal Flame. Finally, I showed the Statue of Liberty because without liberty there is no jollity.

@LoveMightyBoosh131 Thank you for your comments. I kind of regret not using British images in the video, but then Americans sing the hymn "My Country 'Tis of Thee" which is the exact same melody as "God Save the Queen", so I didn't think anybody would mind. The feelings that Holst's music evokes are universal.
