The Army flag is among the few military flags that are still widely shown today. The United States Army banner is shown on top of flagpoles today which feature the blue replica against a white background representing the official seal of the Department of the Army. Under the seal, you will find a scarlet scroll with the words “United States Army”. Under the line, you will also find the numbers “1775” which stands for the year when the Army of America was first created. General George Washington was the very first commander-in-chief of the American Army.
Even though the flag was features the year 1775, it was only in 1956 when it was officially approved by President Eisenhower. On June 14, 1956, the official banner was presented and shown at the Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA. That was a very special moment for the Army and gave special importance to the official date when the Army was formed.
Independence Hall is a historic landmark where the Declaration of Independence as well as the United States Constitution were accepted. The hall was built in 1753. It is also great to note that other countries around the world also find the hall very relevant. Tomas Masaryk declared the independence of Czechoslovakia on October 26, 1918 on the very steps of the same building. Independence Hall is known as a World Heritage Site.
You will find the United States Army flags as well as a number of flagpoles from designated flag manufacturers and sellers for outdoor use.
