When Hawaii joined the Union on August 21, 1959, the 50-star American Flag was adopted.  The American Flag is a proud symbol of our national identity.  It should be flown with pride by every household, every business, every organization and unit, and everyone who shares in our love of country.

The stars are a symbol of the heavens and the goals to which humankind aspires.  The stripes are symbolic of rays of light from the sun. Thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that declared independence from England. The now fifty stars symbolize the current 50 United States. White signifies purity and innocence, red signifies valor and bravery; and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

The flag has been through many changes in its history, of which we may be proud.
