Old Glory's Story
The American flag has different shapes and colors on it. Do you know what they mean?
When the colonies first began, the British flag was used. When people talked about breaking off from Great Britain, they wanted a new flag. One was the "Rattlesnake" flag. It had a yellow background. Across the middle was a rattlesnake. Underneath it was the words "Don't tread on me." It was used by the Continental Marines.
Another naval flag had a white background. In the middle of that was a green pine tree. It was called the "Liberty Tree" flag.
