December, 1945. Our Flag Today, in the midst of the greatest war that the world has ever known, the people of the United States, more than ever before, look to the flag that symbolizes their freedom. This standard,the Flag of the United States, is more commonly known as Old Glory or the Stars and Stripes. The men of the Army call it the National Flag, and the Navy personnel know it as the National Ensigng but Old Glory holds the same meaning for all of us. Representing the Thirteen Colonies, who upheld our flag in battle, are thirteen red and white stripes. The men of the colonies foughitas do the men of today, to keep our flag waving. The number of stars, each representing a state, has been increased from the edginal thirteen of the Revolutionary days, when Betsy Ross made the first flag, to forty-eight. The colors, too, are symbols: the red stands for valor, the bravery of our Marines on Guadalcanal had its roots in the blood of our flag, the white stands for purityg and blue stands for justice, the basis of our whole democracy. We can proudly say that this is our flag, nlong may it wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.u ' Ba Cl I The Flag of the United States Its History and Symbolism By James A.
