    "THE
    LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE" 
      
    The
    United States is a country of unlimited opportunities. The fascinating and
    collective achievements of countless American entrepreneurs, scientists,
    artists and athletes demonstrate this, as does the highly visible and
    symbolic flag of the nation, the Stars and Stripes. 
    It
    flies on the moon, on Mount Everest, in sporting arenas and outside the
    headquarters of many of the most powerful companies in the world. It has
    come to represent how America signs her name. 
    
     
    In
    the year 1607, thousands of people from many different nations left their
    homelands to find freedom and opportunity in the new world. One hundred and
    seventy years later, on June 14, 1777, a very young and free nation
    introduced its own new flag. 
      
      
    
    
     
    Since
    then, on this day America celebrates Flag Day when houses, offices and shops
    everywhere proudly fly the Stars and Stripes. 
    
     
    The
    nation's first President, George Washington, is reported to have said of the
    flag: We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country,
    separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her
    and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing Liberty. 
      
    
      
      
    Precious Resin with 18K Solid Gold
    latticework with diamond and ruby encrasted Stars and Stripes on the Cap 
    
      
    For
    the people of America, the Stars and Stripes is more than just a flag. It is
    a declaration of a profound belief in the nation, God, freedom and justice.
    The flag and its  universally
    understood symbolism dominates the landscape in difficult and turbulent
    times, as an absolute assurance that the freedoms she represents shall
    always be defended 
..oer the land of the free and the home of the
    brave.
