Like all flags, the colors used in the flag of the United States of America ("Old Glory") have specific symbolism. The colors have always been red, white, and (dark but a rich) blue.


Red represents hardiness and valor.

White signifies purity and innocence.

Blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice.



The American Flag

Author Unknown


There's a flag that floats above us,

Wrought in red and white and blue

A spangled flag of stars and stripes.


Protecting me and you.

Sacrifices helped to make it

As men fought the long months through,

Nights of marching days of fighting

For the red and white and blue.


There is beauty in that emblem,

There is courage in it, too;

There is loyalty there's valor

In the red and white and blue.


In that flag which floats, unconquered

Over land and sea,

There's equality and freedom

There is true democracy.


There is glory in that emblem,

Wrought in red and white and blue.

It's the stars and stripes forever

Guarding me and guarding you!
