From Threads to Triumph: The History of the U.S. Army Flag Through the Eyes of Gates Flag & Banner

At Gates Flag & Banner, every stitch we sew carries the weight of history, honor, and tradition. Few symbols embody that more than the United States Army flag. As proud makers of military and ceremonial flags for over a century, we’ve seen the U.S. Army flag evolve from a relatively modern creation into a powerful emblem of service and sacrifice. This is our perspective on its history—woven not just with fabric, but with meaning.

About the Original U.S. Army Flag

The original U.S. Army flag was first officially adopted on June 12, 1956, to represent the United States Army as a whole. Its design features a white background with a blue replica of the War Office Seal—first used during the Revolutionary War—symbolizing the Army’s authority and tradition. Beneath the seal, a red scroll bears the words “United States Army”, and the year 1775 marks the Army’s establishment.

This timeless emblem stands as a tribute to the soldiers who have defended freedom through every era of American history—from the battlefields of the Revolution to today’s global missions.
