I am the flag of the United states of America. I was
born on June 14, 1777 in Philadelphia. There the
Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as
the national flag.
My thirteen stripes, alternating red and white, with a
union of thirteen white stars on a field of blue
represented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated
to the personal and religious liberty of mankind. Today
fifty stars signal from my union one for each of the
fifty sovereign states in the greatest constitutional
republic the world has ever known.
My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual
qualities of the citizens of my country.
My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and
integrity of American men and women and the self-
sacrifice and devotion of American fathers and mothers.
My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.
My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.
I am the flag. I symbolize all that is uplifting and good
about our country.
