Thin Line Meanings

The thin blue line is used by law enforcement as a symbol to commemorate fallen comrades and show support for living officers. Each stripe has its own meaning, the black stripe on the top is the public, the bottom black stripe is the criminals. The thin blue line in the middle that separates the two is a representation of law enforcement, they are what stand between the two. An alternate version of this flag is a black and white American flag with a thin blue line in the middle, which has become a symbol for the Blue Lives Matter movement.

The thin red line is used by fire departments as a symbol to show respect for firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty. Firefighters put themselves second to those they protect everyday. They are forced to find the courage to perform their duties and leave their fears behind. "The Thin Red Line of Courage" represents that courage that they have to save and protect life and property.
