The first flag of the USA is considered to be the Continental flag, which was raised by 2 December, 1775 lieutenant John Paul Jones on the ship "Alfred" in the harbor Filadelfia.Flag for "Alfred" manufactured Margaret Manny.. this flag consisted of 13 red and white equal horizontal bands with the british flag in the lashings while. Although there is no documentary evidence confirming the authorship of the drawing of the first stars and stripes, historians, however, believe that Francis Hopkinson, whose signature is among the other is under the Declaration of independence, has made changes in the design of the already existing informal Continental flag and he become what we now know.

On the coat of arms of the united states not as a conditional heraldic eagle, and a very specific kind of bird - bald eagle. This beautiful bird lives on the american continent, is very rare in the eastern regions of Russia. Bald eagle - the predator; feed on fish, small birds and animals.
Now everybody has already got used to the fact that the national symbol of the US - eagle. However, there was a time when in the country were heated debates about this. American statesman Benjamin Franklin, a very unflattering commenting on eagle, made on the role of the national birds of turkey: "This bird (a few vain and stupid, but this is not the worst part of the logo) so brave, "he wrote, "that does not hesitate to attack the british grenadiers guard, which happened to intrude on a farm in their red uniforms". However, the americans have not listened to the opinion of one of the founding fathers of their country and made the coat of arms of the united states of eagles. Turkey, however, also become a national symbol - but only a taste.

Speaking about the U.S. I can't tell you about the tragic date of September 11, 2002.
In the morning of this day nineteen terrorists, having regard to "Al-Qaeda", divided into four groups, captured four scheduled passenger airliner. Each group should have at least one member, past the initial flight training. The invaders sent two of the airliners into the twin towers of the World trade center, located in the southern part of Manhattan in New York. The first flight crashed into the north tower, the second to the south. The result is that both the twin towers collapsed, causing serious destruction of the adjacent buildings. The third plane had been sent to the building of the Pentagon near Washington dc. The passengers and crew of the fourth airliner tried to seize control of the plane from the terrorists, the plane crashed in a field near the town of Schwenksville in the state of Pennsylvania. In addition to the 19 terrorists, as a result of attacks killed 2974 man, another 24 are missing. Most of those killed were civilians.
