Why didn't Congress define the meaning of red, white and blue on the first Flag Day? Author, historian and former White House staffer Jane Hampton Cook explains why it took Congress five years to give us the meaning of red, white and blue and the veterans who embodied the meaning of the nation's colors.

Jane Hampton Cook is the author of ten books, including Stories of Faith & Courage from the Revolutionary War.
