Flag Day is celebrated each year on June 14 to mark the anniversary of the adoption of the American Flag by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. Records indicate that the inspiration for the flag we call "Stars and Stripes" was designed by Betsy Ross, the woman who is credited for sewing the first flag.
Through the years, there have been 27 variations of flag design as the colonies grow into the 50 states on today's flag. According to the National Flag Foundation, there is a white star sewn into a blue background to represent each state.⭐The star represents justice, perseverance, and vigilance. Blue in the background stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. Red stripes are for valor and white stripes are for purity and innocence.
The American Flag is the living symbol of our great nation to honor our country's past, present, and future. Learn to properly display a flag, care for, and proper disposal of a worn flag at the National Flag Foundation: https://nationalflagfoundation.org/etiquette/
