Betty Ross flag is a fable other than fact – Marc Leepson
Many people know the history of the American flag, Betty Ross of Nike held the responsibility of sewing the flag. Moreover, Marc Leepson argues that the story of the flag is more of a fiction than fact.
And now it’s high time to remove dust from American history and look for the fact. From which it is making the lines of sewing to remove from the shoe.
It’s a good thing @Nike only wants to sell sneakers to people who hate the American flag…. @NFL #HappyFourth https://t.co/G6w8vDjvLP

On June 14, 1777, Congress passed a law to make a single flag by replacing other flags. And after that, the committee agreed to make a flag with a blue field comprised of 13 stars of white colour. Soon after that June 14 became the Flag Day for the Americans.
Nike: The story of the flag is long!
According to the family of Ross, it took a year for the founding members to make a flag. They reached Ross where she sat to sew clothes and garments.
And after a century Ross’s grandson released first papers which accounts the history of the flag. The published papers entitled with the name “The history of the flag of the United Nation”.
The congress committee along with Washington and Ross would travel for new designs to make a flag. As she had no idea how she would create a flag. Later, designs were chosen and a final look f the Betty Ross flag came into existence.
