USA

The flag of the United States consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red alternating with white, with a blue

rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars

with rows of five stars.

The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 U.S. states and the 13 stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies that

rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union
