#23: The American Flag
When it comes to seeing your country’s flag, there is so much emotion and connection attached to it. Flags are a real way for a group of people to feel connected to a place and therefore create strong feelings of patriotism. But have you ever wondered who was responsible for creating the American flag?
Well, apparently Betsy Ross wasn’t the only person to ever have any influence over how the American flag was going to look. Yes, she did come up with the initial design, but apparently Bob Heft, a 17-year-old high school student took Ross’ flag and gave it a bit of a makeover.
