Abstract
Most, if not all, nations ratify and fly a flag that is designed as a symbol representing who they are. For example, the Flag of the United States of America consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, alternating in color from red to white. The Flag also has a blue rectangle covering the upper left portion bearing fifty white five-point stars. The thirteen stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared their independence from Great Britain and became the first states making up the Union.
