American Flag
Flag has had many names and many designs since

it was first made in. The most popular name is the Stars and Stripes. The flag stands for the land, the people, the government and the ideals of the United States. The first flag represented the 13 original colonies but had the British flag in the upper left hand corner. After the Declaration of Independence was written the British flag was replaced with 13 stripes and 13 stars representing the 13 colonies. As more states were added to the union more stars were included. The 13 original stripes remain on today's flag, but there are now 50 stars for the 50 states.

Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty was given to the

United States by France in 1884. It was a symbol of friendship and liberty that both countries shared. France and the United States both shared its expense. A French sculptor, Fredric Auguste Bartholdi, designed it and chose its location. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that expresses freedom to people all over the world. Her crown bears seven spikes representing the light of liberty on the seven seas and seven continents. In her left arm she holds a tablet with the date of the Declaration of Independence. A broken chain at her feet represents the brokenness of a dictatorship.

The Liberty Bell is a treasured remembrance when America

was fighting for its Independence. It was rung on July 8, 1776, for the 1st public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It weighs over 2,080 pounds. Today the bell hangs in a shelter, just north of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. For nearly 100 years, the Liberty Bell rang on many special events. The Bell cracked in 1841, so it is not rung anymore. Although, it is struck with a mallet on special days.

Eagle
The American bald eagle was adopted as the official emblem

of the United States of America in 1782. The bald eagle was chosen because of it's majestic beauty, great strength, long life, and because it's native to North America.
