Happy 4th to all you guys from me too.
Why does Old Glory have 50 stars all the while there are 52 states? Is it because Hawai'i and Alaska are somehow "remote"? (Or maybe it's just for balance and symmetry?) I recall reading that there were fewer stars on your flag once in the dim distant past and that changed over time to reflect the growth of The USA. Sure I could ask Uncle Google but here I am!

They were 49 and 50 on the star field starting in 1960, and this is the current flag. The flag has changed over the years, but the 13 stripes have remained constant since 1818.
