The American flag has changed 26 times since it was first adopted after the Revolutionary War. Adopted by resolution from the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777 (Flag Day), the American flag was originally designed with thirteen stars in a circle on a blue field with thirteen stripes alternating red and white. The thirteen stripes remain, representing the original thirteen colonies of the United States. The flag is also a symbol of ideology: a reminder that it waves in the land of the free and the home of the brave. This calendar features the American flag waving proudly from Wall Street to Main Street, all across the USA.
