When people discuss the American flag, they often refer to it in other
names such as “Starry Banner” or “Old Glory”. The flag is one of the
most recognized around the globe, which is why individuals usually
stop to appreciate what it stands for. The United States is one of the
most powerful nations on earth. World leaders recognize the stars and
stripes because it symbolizes power, independence and democracy. The
national flag is one of the country’s most valuable treasures. The
design may be simple for some but there is a lot of meaning behind it.
The 50 stars stand for the 50 states while the 13 stripes stand for
the first states that supported the Union.

Why does the American flag hold a lot of meaning?
The United States has transformed itself into one of the most powerful
nations in the world since the pioneers first signed the Declaration
of Independence in 1776. The United States was then freed from British
rule. The USA is a model for other countries that eventually gained
their freedom from foreign rule too. The independence of the country
has been stated formally in the United States Constitution. The banner
is important in lifting the spirit of Americans everywhere especially
during hard times. It stands for principles and virtues like pride,
liberty and equality. The flag also commemorates the sacrifices made
by the forefathers of the country and how people gave up their lives

just to establish independence. It is a symbol of peace overall.
