Symbols of Our Country

The American flag is a very special symbol. It has red and white stripes and a blue square with white stars. There are fifty stars on our flag, one for every state in our country! We see the flag flying high at schools, parks, and even on big buildings. It reminds us that we all belong to one big, happy family called the United States.

The Statue of Liberty is another famous symbol. She is a very tall lady who stands in the water near New York City. She wears a crown and holds a torch high in the air to welcome people from all over the world. The Statue of Liberty was a giant gift from the country of France a long time ago. She stands for freedom and kindness for everyone who lives here!
