Q: What do the colors of the American flag stand for?
A: There is no official assignment of meaning or symbolism to the colours of the flag.
However, Charles Thomson (1729 - 1824), secretary of the Continental Congress, in describing the proposed Great Seal, suggested the following symbolism: "White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue . . . signifies vigilence, perseverence [sic] & justice."
