This is another American fable about our history. Ross did not make the flag nor did Washington design it. Her grandson made up the story and has come to us as truth. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the first flag for the navy in 1776. It was a basic British Union flag with stripes and our second flag replaced the cross on the British flag with stars. The colors do not stand for anything contrary to the Boy Scout handbook.
