Van Handel Insurance Agency

Flag Day is a great reminder of the history, resilience, and pride behind the Stars and Stripes. As a family-owned Wisconsin insurance agency, we love honoring traditions that bring communities together.

Here are a few fun Flag Day facts our team enjoyed:

• The current 50-star flag was designed by a 17-year-old student in 1958 and later chosen by President Eisenhower.
• There have been 27 official versions of the flag, most updated as new states joined the Union.
• Red, white, and blue each carry meaning—representing valor, purity, and justice.
• Six American flags have been planted on the moon by Apollo missions.
• Today’s design is the longest-running in history, unchanged since 1959.

We hope you enjoy Flag Day and take a moment to reflect on the history and unity it represents. 🇺🇸
