💨 Abstract

More than 75 years after the U.S. Congress established Flag Day, the American flag remains a powerful symbol appearing in various contexts. Flag Day celebrates the 1777 approval of the national flag. The flag has been used on a golfer's shorts, the roof of a business, and seen at public demonstrations. The traditional 50-star flag and older versions are seen in varying contexts where they represent an American symbol.
