美国国旗日的来源

美国国旗是星条旗，诞生于独立战争年代。 1776年7月初，美军总司令乔治·华盛顿来到坎布里奇组建正规军，1777年元旦举行了升旗议式。这面名为坎布里奇的旗帜，是在原来殖民者普遍使用的英国商船旗基础上稍加改变后的红公旗幅上加了白色的横条，总共13根条纹，代表当时起义的13个洲。坎布里奇旗虽未经国会通过，却得到了包括国外在内的广泛承认。 1777年6月14日国会通过一项决议，确定美国国旗应由13根红白相同的横条组成，上面一块蓝色底板上有13颗白星。这样，星条就成了美国国旗。鉴于国会的决议未规定具体尺寸及横条、星星的具体布局，因此起初各地制作的旗帜相差甚为悬殊。以后，加入合众国的州逐渐增多，国旗上的星条数也随之增加。1818年4月4日，门罗总统签署了一项法律，规定美国国旗由13根红白相间的横条和20颗蓝底白星组成，20颗星代表当时参加合众国的20个州。同时决定每增加一个州国旗上就增加一颗星，一般在新州加入后第二年7月4日执行。美国国旗上最后的第50颗星是1960年夏威夷州加入合众国后增加上去的。

Christmas Day

In Britain, Christmas Day is normally spent at home, with the family, and it is regarded as a celebration of the family and its continuity.

The First Day of Middle School By Patty Hansen

I couldn't make it work. I gave up and started to run down the hallway. As I ran, the hall seemed to get longer and longer...th
