The United States Army is a decorated branch of our military. Like all the other branches, the Army has its own flag and symbols with a rich history that date back centuries ago. The official Army flag consists of a white field with a blue symbol and red ribbon that reads, "United States Army." Below that, the year 1775 is written in blue, which denotes the beginning of the Army.
"United States Army" is inscribed in white letters on a scarlet scroll, with the year "1775" in blue numerals below. The Secretary of the Army designates the Army headquarters and agencies authorized an Army Flag.
The drum and drumsticks represent public notification and the Army's role to serve and protect the nation. The Phrygian Cap within the symbol that is supported by the sword, also has the motto, "This we'll defend," written on a scroll coiled around a rattlesnake.
The U.S. Army flag was dedicated and unfurled to the general American public on June 14th (Flag Day!) in 1956 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. That day also marked the 181st anniversary of the establishment of the Army by the Continental Congress in 1775. Whether it's a family member or friend in the service or yourself, most people have a connection to a branch of the military. What does the military mean to you? Does the Army flag represent something or someone special in your life?
The Army flag was designed by the Heraldic Branch, Office of Research and Engineering, Office of The Quartermaster General. Research on background material was begun in July 1955 when a requirement for a United States Army flag was indicated by the Secretary of the Army. Several tentative designs were developed and from among these, the design as adopted was selected by Secretary of the War Brucker.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Army flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Army flags for the future.
