Details

The flag of the United States of America consists of seven red horizontal stripes separated by six white stripes. In the canton there is a blue plane (Union) with fifty small, white five-pointed stars in nine horizontal rows. The fifty stars on the flag represent the fifty states of the United States. The thirteen stripes represent the thirteen original colonies that separated from Great Britain in 1776. The flag is usually referred to as the Stars and Stripes. That is also the usual name for a well-known march by John Philip Sousa, The Stars and Stripes Forever.
