Thirteen stars for 13 kindred spirits, people who held the same ideals, even though they came from different cultures and different walks of life. A new nation of people who had a similar dream. These colors of red, white and blue with its simple circle of 13 stars, a constellation that heralded a new future, one that would be created under his own rule.
