The United States flag is a very special symbol that tells a story about our country. It has 50 bright white stars on a blue background and 13 red and white stripes. Our flag is full of meaning and makes us feel proud to be part of the United States!
Each star stands for one of the 50 states where we live today, like California or New York! The blue part of the flag means being fair and working hard. The flag also has 13 long stripes that are red and white. These stripes help us remember the 13 groups of people who started our country a long time ago.
The red stripes show that we are brave, and the white stripes mean we try our best to be good. When we see the stars, we remember all the people who live together in our big country. The flag brings Americans together and fills us with pride.
