US Flag Pictures

The flag of the United States of America consists of 13 red, horizontal stripes, all of which are equal in width. In the upper left hand of the flag is a blue rectangle, which consists of 50 small, white, stars (five pointed stars). These stars are arranged in nine horizontal rows, which alternate between 5 stars and 6 stars per row. The rows are offset, as clearly visible when looking at the flag. The 50 stars represent the 50 states in the US. The flag only consisted of 48 stars until Alaska and Hawaii were added as states. The 13 red and white stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies, which is known as Old Glory. The colors of the American flag have been used as a base for many other countries flags which include Chile, Malaysia, and Puerto Rico.
