The US Flag, is the official flag of the United States of America. This beacon of liberty and freedom has stretched generations for more than 200 years as the one true guiding light to all the people of the world. It is a symbol that many brave people have fought and died for and will continue to fight and die for. Our flag is known by many names, Old Glory, The Stars and Stripes, and The Star Spangled Banner just to name a few. But how did our flag come to exist?
On June 14, 1777, the 2nd Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act. It reads, "Resolved, That the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."
Our flag has undergone many transformations since its first design but its meaning has never changed. The flag is still and always will be the visible and tangible symbol of our nation.
