13 stripes. 13 Colonies. 13 Arrows in our Eagles talons on US Currency

The U.S. had a flag at one point that was 15 stripes and as few as 13 stars. When the flag was changed from 15 to 13 stripes, I'm pretty sure the 13 Tribes weren't on their minds.



I guess I connected those dots!!

Keyword: had

You're right, it was on HIS Their mind, not theirs. HE does They[/b] work in mysterious ways.(Congress) You dont. wink [b](I'm not Congress)

So why didn't they change the flag to 15 stripes and later to 50 stripes. (Because of the 13 original colonies)

50 is the number of Jubilee. That would be a goodly number of stripes wouldn't it?

Oh, nevermind, that's why we have 50 stars. grin (50 stars came from the states as they joined. It did not start with 50)

Gee, i wonder who put it in our founders heads to make this nation free, as HE who created His wanted us to be? The only nation like that in the world IIRC, where His people are supposed to rule the government.

Probably ust another Quincidence. whistle


Fixed, looks much better!
