It is a piece of cloth that represents something. It may represent an idea, a group of people, or an organization.
Flags represent teams, countries, states, clubs, churches, and cities.
They come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and designs. The United States of America has a flag which represents the country. The first Stars and Stripes was ordered in 1777. As more states entered the Union, Congress decided that a new star should be put on the flag for each new state. The thirteen stripes would not change, reminding us of the original thirteen colonies.
