2 2 Celebrate the Stars and Stripes The first Flag Act was passed June 14, 1777, to dictate that the United States flag be made of 13 alternating red and white stripes and 13 white stars on a blue background. Today, much of the country observes Flag Day on June 14. Legend maintains that Betsy Ross, a seamstress from Philadelphia, made the first U.S. flag, but it was likely Congressman Francis Hopkinson who designed it. Since the Great Seal was created in 1782, the flag s colors hold special meaning: White represents purity and innocence, red symbolizes hardiness and valor, and blue stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice. The public fascination with the flag as a patriotic symbol came about during the Civil War. Happy Birthday! June 1st Shirley R. June 3rd Judy I. June 3rd Marty S. June 4th Doreen H. June 9th Barb M.

I hope you enjoy the following facts about this delicious fruit. Eight strawberries provide only 45 calories, 140 percent of the RDA for vitamin C and three grams of fiber. One strawberry contains about 200 seeds. Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds found on the outside instead of the inside. The only way to harvest strawberries is by hand. The largest strawberry ever picked was half a pound. Historically, strawberries represent peace and prosperity. The average American eats 4.85 pounds of strawberries annually. Strawberries offer the most flavor when eaten at room temperature. Strawberries are a member of the rose family. Birds are responsible for the spread of strawberry seeds across the country. Belgium offers a museum dedicated entirely to strawberries. Visit an American House today and enjoy some strawberries.
