United States flag facts and handling etiquette
The United States flag was first imagined after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Continental Congress authorized creation of the first national flag on June 14, 1777. It was decided that the flag should have 13 stripes, alternating red and white, to represent the original 13 colonies, and that the new union be represented by 13 white stars in a blue field to signify a 'new constellation.' Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, is most often credited with the original design. 05/22/2023 11:00 PM
