The American Flag and Its Protocol. The Flag of the United States of America is a symbol of freedom and liberty to which Americans pledge their allegiance by standing at attention, facing the flag with the right hand over the heart, and reciting:
From 1794 until 1817, at least 4 more states had been added to the country. The flag, however, stayed the same until 1818 when Congress decided that the flag should have 13 stripes to honor the 13 original colonies and a white star to represent each state in the Union.
