A flag is a cloth symbol, usually used for either signaling or identification. Though flags were first used to support military maneuvers, they quickly were adopted as the prime identification for nations. Nowadays, a flag is usually the most important patriotic symbol of a nation. The American flag has fifty stars and 13 stripes on it. The study of flags is known as vexillology.
