13. The number of stripes represent the original colonies, so they never change. The number of stars, represent the states so that if some break away like the confederates did, the flag would have to be redone.

Are the flags lowered on President's day?

The flags are not lowered to the middle position on the flag poles because President's Day is about celebrating and honoring the births of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. The US Flag is put into the middle position on the flag poles when there is a death of a VIP or if you have a flag pole for your loved one. They leave the flag all the way up on President's day to celebrate the President's birthdays and their significance in the history of the USA. They lower it at the end of the day to take it off the flag pole until the next day.
