what year did USA come out with the 50 star flag?

Answer 1

The flag of the United States consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 U.S. states and the 13 stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies that rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union. Nicknames for the flag include "the Stars and Stripes" and "Old Glory," with the latter nickname coined by Captain William Driver, a 19th-century shipmaster.

Because of its symbolism, the starred blue canton is called the "union." This part of the national flag can stand alone as a maritime flag called the Union Jack (no relation to the flag of the United Kingdom this term more commonly refers to). The Union Jack served as the naval jack for U.S. warships until 2002, when it was replaced by the so-called First Navy Jack as part of the War on Terrorism. However, the Union Jack continues to be used as a jack by U.S. vessels outside the Navy, including those of the Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In blazons (a vexillological description using flag terminology), the U.S. flag is described as "a banner Gules, six bars Argent; the canton Azure charged with 50 mullets Argent." This means "a red flag with six white horizontal stripes; the upper quarter nearest the hoist is blue with 50 white stars."

Fly a pair of your shorts if you want. It's America and it's OK to do just about anything you want to do these days. (especially if you are an illegal criminal) Lead by example is what I always have felt was the right approach. Put your money where your mouth is. Most don't do this however. It was only AFTER 911 that it became apparent to criminals and illegals all over the world that it was open season on America. They smelled our blood and came to it like a pack of hungry wolves. The illegal invasion into our country was encouraged by this savage attack on a nieve and unsuspecting people. (Encouraged by a treasonous, corrupted group of wealthy, Federal and State authorities.) That attack was the signal that it was now open season on America and Americans. The borders have not yet been sealed. Illegal immigrants with forged papers falsely legitimizing them are the norm not the exception. American's rights have been taken away from them under the guise of National Security. (What National Security is taking care of sealing the borders?) We are no longer a country of law and order. To worry about who flys what is a grand joke. To allow 20 million plus criminals (even if they are "nice" criminals) to sneak into the USA, forge papers and then demonstrate in the streets waving their country' flag and demanding this, that and the other should give you a clear picture of where the US is at circumstancially, if there is any doubt in your mind. Truth be known here in the USA, it's all over for us ....except for the flag waving and even that issue is confused and misaligned.
