Forty eight. The flag of the United States of America had forty eight stars from 1912 until 1959. Veteran's Day is celebrated in the United States on November 11th each year. The November 11th celebration dates back to 11:00am on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when the hostilities of World War One officially came to an end. Most of the world recognizes November 11th as "Armistice Day." In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a resolution changing "Armistice Day" to "Veterans Day" as a recognition to all veterans of all wars.
Most likely it is a flag that was in use from 1907 to 1911. The 46th star was added to the US flag when Oklahoma became a state. In 1911 and 1912 Arizona and New Mexico became states and the 47th and 48th stars were added. The US flag stayed at 48 stars until Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the union becomming the 49th and 50th star on the flag
there were only 13 stars in 1912 The US flag started the year 1912 with 46 stars. After New Mexico (Jan) and Arizona (Feb) became states, the 48 star version was adopted July 4, 1912.
Forty-eight, in six rows of eight. Just like in WWI. Arizona became the 48th state in 1912; Alaska and Hawaii did not become the 49th and 50th states until 1959. However, because Alaska joined the US in January 1959 as the 49th state the 49 star flag became official on July 4th 1959. Hawaii joined the US in August 1959 as the 50th state and the new 50 star flag became official on July 4th 1960.
