Image Description: National flag of the United States of America waving on the wind. This photograph gives us an iconic look at the American flag waving in a very stiff wind. The national flag of the United States of America has been referred to by many names; old glory, stars and stripes, and the star spangled banner, just to name a few. The flag consists of thirteen horizontal equal stripes of red and alternating white; these thirteen stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independent from the kingdom of Great Britain, becoming the first states. The 50 small white stars inside the blue rectangle (referred to as the union) are set in nine offset horizontal rows, and they stand for the 50 states of the United States of America. The flag has become a powerful representation of Americanism and is proudly displayed on many occasions.
