The American flag, often referred to as the "Stars and Stripes," features 13 horizontal stripes and 50 stars. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies that declared independence from Britain, while the 50 stars symbolize the current 50 states of the Union. The colors red, white, and blue are often interpreted to represent valor and bravery (red), purity and innocence (white), and vigilance, perseverance, and justice (blue).
