It has 13 red & white stripes and 50 white stars on a blue background.

The 13 stripes refer to the 13 British colonies that declared independence from the kingdom of Great Britain in 1776 and the 50 stars refer to the 50 U.S. states.

The motto of the USA is ‘In God We Trust’.

The national anthem of the USA is called 'STAR-SPANGLED BANNER' and the lyrics are based on a poem by Francis Scott Key in 1814. You can here the national anthem here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbXSZBnBOQ4, sung beautifully by Lady Gaga.
