Bunker Hill Flag | 3' x 5' Nylon

Bunker Hill Flag | Nylon | American Made Bunker Hill Flag  This historical Bunker Hill Flag is made of highly durable 200-Denier Nylon material. This is the most popular quality choice in flags today, as it provides extra durability and flies in a slight breeze. The flag is traditionally depicted as a blue flag with the image of a white tree, with the words "An Appeal to Heaven" or "Appeal to Heaven" written above it in white. The flag is supposed to be flown by the Patriot forces during the Battle of Bunker Hill, but there is no historical evidence that this flag was actually used during the battle. It is a popular depiction of what the flag could have looked like. It is important to note that this flag was not an official flag of the Continental Army or the Patriots. The Continental Army did not have official flags until 1776 and the Patriots didn't have a standardized flag until the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in 1777.

Notes for flag care: Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag. We recommend that you hand-wash your flag with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can also use a dry cleaning service. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flag History: Bunker Hill was a battle fought on June 17, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. The battle took place in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was a significant early victory for the Patriots (the colonists who were fighting for independence from British rule). The Patriots, led by Generals William Prescott and Israel Putnam, fortified Breed's Hill, a small hill overlooking Boston. The British, under the command of General William Howe, launched a series of attacks on the hill, but were repelled each time with heavy casualties. Eventually, the Patriots ran out of ammunition and were forced to retreat, but not before they had inflicted significant losses on the British. The battle is considered a turning point in the Revolutionary War and is considered a significant early victory for the Patriots.
