Flag of the United States of America

undefinedThe Flag of the United States of America is the symbol we use to identify America as a nation.

The Continental Colors (1775-1777)
The very first version of the American flag did not have white stars in a field of blue, but rather a Union Jack in the corner with the thirteen red and white stripes. They made this flag by adding white stripes to a British Red Ensign flag.

Serapis Flag (1779)
The Serapis Flag was an unofficial flag designed by John Paul Jones at a Dutch port to avoid getting arrested as a pirate. It was based on a description of an American flag that Benjamin Franklin gave to John Paul Jones.
