Jean Learns About National Symbols and Holidays
"There is only a little more information about the citizenship test to study," Jean told his friend Rob.
"What's that?" Rob asked.
"It's about national symbols and holidays," Jean answered.
"Well, let's get going," Rob said. "How can I help you?"
"Tell me about the U.S. flag," Jean said.
"It has thirteen stripes," Rob explained. "These stand for the original thirteen colonies. It also has 50 stars. There is one for each state. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance we show loyalty to our country and our flag."
"What is your national anthem?" asked Jean.
"Ours is called "The Star-Spangled Banner," Rob explained. "We also show our loyalty when we sing the national anthem. It was a poem written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. But it wasn't officially our national anthem until 1931."
