The 13 stripes are alternating red and white, and they represent the original 13 colonies: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

The US flag has been changed several times over the years, but the 13 stripes have always remained a constant feature. The stripes are a symbol of the unity and strength of the United States, and they represent the country's long and rich history.
