Partial view of two residential homes, possibly town homes or condominiums, along Main Street in the city of Carson. These homes are similar in design; they have a small, enclosed back yard, a second story, and satellite dishes clipped to their roofs. The dwelling on the right shows two flags on staffs along a half wall: a Marine Corps flag and the American flag. Although not clearly visible in this photo, the Marine Corp flag's emblem is the Eagle, Globe and Anchor; the eagle, a crested eagle found worldwide, stands on the Western Hemisphere holding a scroll bearing the Marine Corps motto: Semper Fidelis. The eagle stands for a proud country, the globe signifies worldwide service, and the fouled anchor signifies naval tradition. The flag of the United States of America consists of 13 horizontal red and white stripes, which are representative of the 13 Original Colonies, and 50 stars that lie on a blue background, representing the 50 states that are part of present day America. The three colors symbolize: Red - hardiness and valor; White - innocence and purity; and Blue - perseverance, justice and vigilance.
