The American flag has 13 stripes for the original colonies and 50 stars for the current states. The 50-star version was adopted on July 4, 1960, after Hawaii became the 50th state. It has now been in use longer than any previous design. The flag's red represents valor, white represents purity, and blue represents justice. In 2026, the United States celebrates its 250th birthday — the semiquincentennial. Coloring page of the American flag with all 50 stars and 13 stripes.
