    World Flags:

    Flag of the United States

    The American national flag is one of the most well known symbols of the United States of America.

    Often nicknamed as the “Stars and Stripes” it consists of thirteen horizontal stripes in red and white, and 50 white stars on a blue rectangle on its upper hoist-side corner.

    Flown as a national emblem since 1777 with very minor changes during the years, it serves as a strong symbol of Americanism identity and national pride while capturing the power and glory of its people.
