Betsy Ross Flag Patch — 13-Star American Flag Embroidered Patch The original Stars and Stripes — where American independence began. The Betsy Ross Flag is one of the most enduring symbols of American independence, featuring thirteen white stars arranged in a circle on a blue canton alongside thirteen alternating red and white stripes. According to popular tradition, Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, sewed the first American flag in 1776 at the request of General George Washington and a committee of the Continental Congress. Whether or not the legend is entirely accurate, the circular star pattern has become synonymous with the birth of the United States and the revolutionary spirit that forged a new nation. This embroidered patch faithfully reproduces the iconic Betsy Ross design, capturing the distinctive circular star arrangement that sets it apart from later flag iterations. The 13-star flag flew over the young republic during its most formative years — through the Revolutionary War, the drafting of the Constitution, and the establishment of the federal government. Today, the Betsy Ross Flag is proudly displayed by military personnel, history enthusiasts, and patriotic Americans as a tribute to the founders who risked everything for liberty and self-governance. Perfect For: American history enthusiasts, Revolutionary War collectors, military service members, patriotic Americans, flag patch collectors, and anyone who honors the origins of the Stars and Stripes. Thirteen stars, one vision — the flag that started it all.
