新的國旗逾1818412日在美國首都上空飄揚著

1818年那五個新的州加入聯邦之後,中央政府確認了現在的國旗樣式,也就是以星星數目代表聯邦的州數目,而以13條條紋代表最初的13個殖民州。那麼,當有一個新的州獲准加入聯邦,中央政府會在哪一天正式在國旗上增加一顆星星呢?那當然就是美國國慶日了。

傳達國旗的知識給朋友和家人吧!


After five new states joined the Union in 1818 the government settled on the present formula with stars equaling the number of states in the union, and stripes always representing the 13 original colonies. When a new state is admitted to the union, on what day does the government add a new star? Independence Day, of course.

Pass along your flag knowledge to friends and family.
