You can also use a dry cleaning service. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flag History:   The Serapis Flag was a red flag with the Union Jack in the canton and the words "Come On Boys" in white letters on the red field. The flag was designed to inspire the crew of the Serapis and to rally them in the heat of battle. During the Battle of the Chesapeake, the Serapis fought against the Continental frigate Bonhomme Richard, which was commanded by John Paul Jones. Despite being badly damaged, the Bonhomme Richard was able to capture the Serapis, and the Serapis Flag became a prize of war. Today, the Serapis Flag is considered an important piece of American Revolutionary War history, and it is a symbol of the bravery and courage of the American sailors who fought against the British. The flag is a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for American independence, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for the American people.
