The American Flag

There are 13 red and white stripes and a blue rectangle on the American flag, and 50 stars in the upper left corner. Stripe represents the thirteen colonies of the United States, and the stars represent 50 states in the United States.

It was not until 1912 that the American flags had a common design. It has changed over and over in the history of over 200 years. Banner makers across the country place stars in the way they like, sometimes in circles, sometimes in rows. Text may be placed in the middle of a blue rectangle

According to the history book, the first American flag was made by Betsy Ross who is familiar with George Washington. One day, Washington appeared in her shop in Philadelphia, showing her flag design. The first informal flag made at the beginning of the independence war in 1776, 13 stripes and the British flag in the lower left corner

The bombing of Fort McHenry during the war of 1812 encouraged Francis Scott Key to write a poem about American flag. A few years later, the lyrics were used in the American national star Star - Spangled Banner.

During the American Civil War, the southern states that left the Union have designed their own flags. It has the same color, but the stars are arranged in different patterns

In 1912, the President of the United States ordered to make the American flag the same across the country. The flag has not changed over 50 years. When Alaska and Hawaii became the states of the United States in 1959, the last big change occurred. And replaced the flag of 48 stars with the flag of 50 stars.

The American flag is a general sight all around the world, and everyone is aware of it. In the United States, it is common in public buildings and schools. Normally it will serve as the theme of a badge, car or stamp. The flag is a powerful symbol of Americanism.

Stars and Stripes travels all over the world. In 1909, Robert Piery raised the flag at the North Pole, and in 1969 the American astronaut Neil Armstrong set the American flag on the moon.

Badge = A small plastic or metal piece on the shirt or coat indicates that there is meaning and work for the organization.

Therefore the flag asked about relations with the American flag: Is the flag really a flag? Is it a banner? All American flags represent only a part of the predefined concept of the American flag. Together with Flag, Johns updated the artist's "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" puzzle since 1929. So, he combined pipeline rendering and French 'This is not a pipeline'. What the audience saw - assuming it is first understood through visual recognition - and eventually escaping the meaning. Both are flags, not flags

The national flag can be made into a past portrait of the history of that country like the American flag. The American flag still has 13 red and white stripes, showing the original 13 colonies. Several flags of the world follow this historical model. The flags of many countries are divided into quadrants. Especially when the independent country was a colony there are several flags of flags of other countries, in particular. For example, the flag of Australia has its own design, but the flag of England has a corner. The national flag is raised during the war, but sometimes the country may use a different flag than usual. Because badges are usually strong military presence, there are countries that remove badges from badge design in peacetime. In fact, since army officials can recognize these flags during the war, flags are most likely to have been developed from long ago. During the war, it was difficult for soldiers to be with their team when the air was cloudy with dust.

Like many southern boys, I have grown up and in my room are two national flags of American flag and South Army national flag hanging. The American flag is huge and occupies most of the wall. It is the flag of "1776" with 13 stars in the blue field circle. My grandmother bought me for the 200th anniversary, and it was a precious asset for many years. This banner has special meaning in later life when I understand more family history, including service to General Washington, who is suffering from Valley Forge.
