		<title>The Evolution of the US Flag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[





13 Stars    
An interesting flag factoid: the original US flag is not the Betsy Ross!  Although most people believe the 13 circular-star pattern was part of the initial flag, the first official pattern consisted of 13 staggered stars.  From 1777 to 1795, the flag was flown to represent the thirteen colonies of the United [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.carrot-top.com&blog=9385727&post=880&subd=flaginfo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
