Made in U.S.A. 3' x 5' 200-denier Nylon White Header w/ (2) Brass Grommets Single-Reverse (Flag reads correctly on one side, and in reverse on the other side) This flag was used by George Washington on his squadron of six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall of 1775. It was a variation of the New England Pine Tree flag, later modified and adopted by the Massachusetts Navy. The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree, in Boston, Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty Tree". This tree became a symbol of American independence. Knowing they were up against a great military power they believed they were sustained by still a greater power, thus their "APPEAL TO HEAVEN". Show more
