Iwo Jima Flag Raising

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:17:00 +0000

The flag raising at Iwo Jima is one of the most iconic images from WWII. The photograph was taken on Feb 23, 1945 on top of Mt. Suribachi. What is less well known is that 2 flags were raised that day. The first was declared to be too small, and was replaced with a larger flag. This second flag raising is the one that we see the most, and still speaks to our resolve throughout WWII.

CVSFlags.com hopes you had a great Memorial Day.

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 19:14:00 +0000

Flag Etiquette ~ 1942 Flag Code Law

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 14:20:00 +0000

For nearly 50 years after Congress authorized the design for our flag, citizens had no uniform set of rules to guide them in displaying and showing respect for the flag. To supply such a guide, a National Flag Conference was held in Washington D.C. on Flag Day, June 14, 1923. Congress made the flag code law in 1942.

Proper U.S. Flag Disposal

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 20:10:00 +0000

We all enjoy the sight of Old Glory flying high, but what are we supposed to do with her when Mother Nature has worn her out? There are a couple acceptable options for disposal of a U.S. Flag. Many Boy Scout groups will take your flag for disposal, as well as most American Legion’s, and VFW posts. However, U.S. Flag code TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > Sec. 8(k): "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning"

How "Old Glory" got her name

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 19:09:00 +0000

"Old Glory" is rich with our Nation’s history & pride. Capt. Driver, a 19th century American Sea Captain, was given a 10’x17’ flag by his mother to fly from the mast of the “Charles Doggett”. First time it was unfurled Capt. Driver exclaimed “Old Glory” as his ship left for the trip around the world. So do “Old Glory” proud and fly her high.

SEPT 9th 1850 CALIFORNIA INDUCTED INTO THE UNION

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:15:00 +0000

On the 9th of September the state of California was inducted into the union. The California state flag we know today is an adaptation of an earlier flag created by William Todd in June of 1846. Todd’s painting was mistaken by many native Californians as the word ‘Coc...he,’ a common term for pig, which was often uttered while viewing the flag. The flag also had a five-point star and the words “California Republic” on it. In 1911 California adopted its current state flag. This flag was based upon the original Bear Flag.
CVSFlags.com offers the California flag in a variety of sizes and finishes, so go ahead and paint Cali proud by ordering your California flag today. Call us or visit us @ www.CVSFlags.com

History of the Gadsden Flag

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:55:00 +0000

History of the Gadsden Flag

The Gadsden Flag is one of the most famous flags in the history of the United States. It is still flown today to represent the power of the original thirteen colonies that then grew into the United States of America. It was designed and named after the American general and statesman, Christopher Gadsden who was a respected patriot from South Carolina. The Gadsden Flag was also used as a symbol for the United State Marine Corps, as they adopted the popular motto displayed on the flag, “Don’t Tread on Me.” The bright, yellow flag displays a coiled rattlesnake that represents the thirteen colonies and their animosity towards the British government who sent shiploads of convicted criminals to the Americas. In return, the Americans sent hundreds of rattlesnakes to England as a surprise to the Brits for their “generosity” in sending over such criminals. The first Gadsden Flag was flown during this historic event as well as many other events later on.
In 1775, the United States Navy was established to intercept incoming British ships carrying war materials to the British troops in the colonies. The Second Continental Congress authorized five companies to aid the Marines in their mission. They carried yellow drums depicting the coiled snake and the motto “Don’t Tread on Me” displayed on the bottom of the drum. Again, the Gadsden symbol was used in representation of the thirteen colonies and their military power against the British.
CVSFlags.com offers a wide range of flags including The Gadsden Flag! Show your pride and support for our wonderful nation and fly the Gadsden Flag in unison with the US Flag.

Flag Illumination

noreply@blogger.com (CVSFlags.com) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:17:00 +0000

The US Flag is the most widely recognized symbol of the United States recognizing our country as a nation, state and government with policies and ideas. It represents US; the United States of America, and should be flown with respect and with proper etiquette. There are many tips for proper display of the US Flag one of which is flag illumination. When flown at night, the US Flag should be illuminated so that the stars and stripes can be seen clearly from a reasonable distance. If there is no light to illuminate the flag, it must be taken down each night and never flown in the dark. The flag can then be flown during daylight hours. Because the US Flag is a symbol of respect for our beloved country, we must display it as such with proper lighting.
