The American Flag

When you think of the American Flag, you think Red, White, and Blue. These colors actually mean something though. Red means hardiness and valor,  White means innocence and purity, and Blue means the color of the Chief. There are 50 stars and 13 stripes, 6 white and 7 red. The fifty stars signify the 50 states (Here we go! Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,  Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesoda, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming!) The 13 stripes signify the 13 original British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, thus beginning the United States.
