About Stars & Stripes
Old Glory has flown through more than two centuries of American life, snapping in the July breeze above courthouses, draped from porch railings, and carried down Main Street by color guards whose white gloves catch the summer sun. The blue canton holds one star for every state, a constellation that has grown from thirteen to fifty as the nation spread from coast to coast. On the Fourth, the flag is everywhere at once: stitched into bunting, pressed to lapels, raised up the mast at first light to the slow, certain notes of a bugle.
