The flag of the United States of America is, in my opinion, the most recognizable flag in the planet. Big or small, you'd recognize if they are American flags. Stars and stripes -- I don't think anyone would mistake it for some other country's flag. So, aside from the 50 five-pointed stars and thirteen alternating blue and white stripes, what else do we know about it? Chances are we already know the different nicknames for the flag such as Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, and the Star-Spangled Banner. And, yes, we also know that the USA is a super power, and its official symbol represents its ideals and capabilities. But did you know that... The flag is displayed only until it gets dark. It's hoisted up early in the morning and taken down before it gets dark. The flag may be displayed 24 hours. You may keep the flag waving proudly all day and night as long as it is properly lit. The flag should be retrieved during a bad weather. If a flag, any flag, is displayed upside-down, it takes on a different meaning. If you fly the American flag upside down, it means that you are in danger and are in need of assistance. In other countries, displaying the flag upside down means that that country is at war. The very first country that recognized the American flag as the USA's symbol was France? France helped the USA fight Great Britain during the War of Independence. They believed in the concept of independence and encouraged the American colonies to yearn for and cherish freedom.
