Monday, November 5, 2012

It would be safe to assume that the members of the Continental Congress have long been contemplating about having their own American flag as they signed the Declaration of Independence. A flag is always a vital part of any independent nation because it stands for a variety of historical and meaningful events, people, things and places.

According to historical records, Betsy Ross made the very first version of the flag raised in different parts of the country. The first flag was sewn by Ross in May 1776 which became the official American flag. The original design also went through a lot of changes because more states were introduced.

The Meaning of the Symbols

The layout of the US banner is very special and holds a lot of meaning. The red stripes on the flag stand for blood, the fight for freedom and bravery. The white stripes are representative of purity, truth and being prepared for change. The stripes are indicative of the values, principles and standards that the forefathers intended to maintain. The flag signifies how the country has matured to become a great nation.

The stars that appear on the flag are indicative of objectives and the future. The stars stand for eternity and how people always set high goals. The blue color represents tranquility and serenity. In due time, the people of America will also experience ultimate peace and prosperity.

The American flag is very similar to the United States. It is created using several threads in the same manner that the United States is also composed of different people, principles and religions.
