Our flag is a symbol of freedom, democracy, and unity.  The 13 stripes are for the original colonies and the 50 stars for the current states.  Adopted in 1777, it signifies our American values.  The red signifies bravery, the white is for purity, and the blue for perseverance and justice. The stars stand for hope and light for mankind. May our flag continue to fly in honor all across our nation as a symbol of our freedom for our life’s journey.
