Flag Day Revered Story of Betsy Ross and Old Glory
A patriotic account traces the origins of the American flag from Betsy Ross in Philadelphia to the 13 stars and 13 stripes, notes flag day on June 14, and recounts its symbolism and practice in schools. It recalls the flag's role in the War of 1812, the Star Spangled Banner inspiration, and civic loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
