Description

The American Flag, a symbol of freedom to the people of the United States of America, features a blue rectangle containing 50 five pointed white stars to represent the current 50 states, and 13 alterating red and white stripes to represent the original 13 colonies that declared freedom from Britain's rule to become the first states.

It has often been refered to as Old Glory, Stars and Stripes, the Red White and Blue, and the Star Spangled Banner among other nicknames and has been the subject of many songs over the course of the country's history including historical pieces like the "Star Spangled Banner", the country's national anthem, as well as more contemporary favorites like Johnny Cash's "Ragged Old Flag" and Toby Kieth's "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue".

The iconic symbol can be found flying outside of public buildings and homes, displayed at sporting events, and proudly placed on the grave sites of those who have served the nation's military. It can be found on postage stamps, and is commonly displayed on vehicles and uniforms. It has also found its way into patriotic home decor and made its mark on the fashion industry with both clothing and accessories.
