The flag of the United States, also known as the Stars and Stripes, is a symbol of American patriotism and national pride. It has red and white stripes and 50 stars in the blue field, which represent the states of the United States. The flag is flown by Americans every day and is commonly displayed in public places like schools, government buildings, and on official government vehicles like the President's car. The flag was first created in 1777 and was designed by Francis Hopkinson, a delegate to the Continental Congress. It was originally made out of wool bunting with stripes of different widths and lengths. The colors used in the flag are the same as those in the coat of arms of the United States, which were taken from the Great Seal of the United States. The flag has undergone several changes since its creation, including the addition of more stars and the adjustment of their placement. However, the basic design and colors have remained the same. The flag is still an important symbol of American patriotism and is respected and revered by many Americans.
