Using Flags

• Most students can recognize their country's flag, but have they ever thought about how it was designed and what it represents? It is important that they start thinking about the ways in which people have joined together to form nations, states, and other unions. What does the flag stand for? Do the color symbolize anything or is a piece of material to be proud of and salute every morning when school starts!?

Page 4: Greek Flags

• You're familiar, of course, with the red, white, and blue national flag of the United States, with its 50 white stars—each representing a state—against a blue background (vigilance, perseverance, and justice) and its 13 red(valor and hardiness)-and-white(purity and innocence) stripes, which stand for the 13 original colonies. The Stars and Stripes, as it is popularly known, has changed over the years, but it still stands for the land, the people, the government, and the ideals of the United States.
