Also this from a book about the flag published in 1977 by the House of Representatives...

Answer 5

I'm not american so i don't know however i do know what the stars & stripes mean. Why don't you ask if americans know anything about other countries? Coz it comes across that you guys don't think there is a world outside of america. I don't mind americans so don't think i'm hasseling you. I had to learn about north american history in school, they didn't teach us our own history (Australia) how stupid is that?
