Celebrate theStars and

StripesThe first Flag Act

was passed June 14,1777, to dictate thatthe United Statesflag be made of13 alternating redand white stripes and13 white stars on ablue background.Today, much of thecountry observesFlag Day on June 14.

Legend maintainsthat Betsy Ross, aseamstress fromPhiladelphia, madethe first U.S. flag,but it was likelyCongressmanFrancis Hopkinsonwho designed it.

Since the GreatSeal was created in1782, the flag’scolors hold specialmeaning: Whiterepresents purityand innocence, redsymbolizes hardinessand valor, and bluestands for vigilance,perseveranceand justice.

The publicfascination with theflag as a patrioticsymbol came aboutduring the Civil War.
