In order for one to understand the proper displaying of "Old Glory" one must understand the parts of the flag and their meaning. Old Glory has 13 stripes, 7 red and 6 white alternating which represents the original 13 Colonies and signified separation from the mother country. The red stands for hardiness and valor, the white for purity. The union; which consists of white five point stars representing the number of states on a field of blue that stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice is placed in the upper quarter next to the staff and extending to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe from the top. Keeping this in mind you will have a better understanding, in newsletters to follow as to the proper displaying of our colors. George Townsend / Flag Chairmen
