Flag Day June 14th

I pledge allegiance to the Flag

Of the United States of America,

And to the Republic for which it stands,

One Nation under God, indivisible,

With liberty and justice for all. — The Pledge of Allegiance, 1892

Do you know much about the history of our flag? Here are several flags that are part of our American Revolution.

This is the Grand Union Flag, flown over Boston in 1776.

The Naval jack flew on Continental ships during the Revolutionary War.

This was called the Bennington Flag, and was the first flag leading American land troops into battle in 1777.

This was General George Washington's personal flag as Commander of the Continental Army.
