SUMMARY : Honors the 51st anniversary of the flying of the
current American flag and encourages all Californians to
celebrate the occasion with appropriate activities.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)On June 4, 2011, the 50-star American flag will celebrate its
51st anniversary as the official Stars and Stripes,
representing the longest period that any fixed flag design has
been used; and, the, flag is a symbol of a country that has
grown from 13 colonies to a united nation of 50 sovereign
states.
2)Since the first American flag, several congressional acts and
Presidential Executive orders have altered the shape, design,
and arrangement of the flag, and allowed for additional stars
and stripes to be added to reflect the admission of each new
state.
3)For more than two centuries, the American flag has been a
banner of hope for generation after generation of Americans;
and, despite the numerous designs of the American flag, they
have all stood for the United States Constitution, the
American way of life, our collective past achievements, and
our dreams for the future.
