What does the American flag stand for. The 50 stars represent the 50 states, the 13 stripes represent the 13 original colonies. The US flag is also known as Old Glory. Betsy Ross made the first flag, and for reference, in the Pantone system the colors are: Blue PMS 281 and Red PMS 193.
Three years later the naturalist Richard Kirman introduced the Dolomite as a new mineral; the name from there became used to name the dolostone rocks and finally gave the Dolomites - referred in the past simply as the Pale Mountains - their actual name.
The Dolomites sit at the top of Italy, where the jagged, skyscraping spires and electric-green valleys of the Trentino-Alto Adige shoulder up against Austria. The air is like a cold drink of water, crystalline and restorative. In summer, the fields are thick with edelweiss and pink rhododendron.
