Thomson's explanation of the symbolism was also approved by the Continental Congress: The thirteen alternating pales represents the states,

· Supporting and united by Congress, represented by the blue chief.

· The colors signify purity and innocence (white), hardiness and valor (red), and vigilance, perseverance and justice (blue).

· The olive branch and arrows represent the powers of war and peace.

· The constellation represents a new state taking its place among other sovereign powers.

· The eagle as sole supporter signifies that the United States "ought to rely on their own virtue."

· The motto is translated, "Out of many, one."
