What do the stripes represent on the national flag of the United States?

There's been talk recently of changing our flag. NO! There is nothing on the flag itself that "needs" to be changed. Back Off! Find something else to complain about! This is our (every American) flag, this is our land, these are our people. Honor. Stand.

The colors also stand as follow. Red for the blood that was shed, white for purity of heart, and blue for the courage and bravery.

used to think stars and stripes was different version of old Glory ..

Lil, you’re kind

hope the people who answered no specific reason are not Americans.

sweetpea , Who wants to change it?

Hels, It’s a game with all sorts of questions and quirky facts.

Why would anyone outside of USA know or care about this? Like how many people outside of Ireland would know or care about what the colours on our flag mean

The flag doesn't need to be changed at all if you don't like our flag you should leave . Honor it and stand up

Good info from the other players I knew the answer but was unaware that there was so much information contained in one flag

nice combination
