Gadsden 2x3 ft. Nylon Flag (1775)
The Gadsden Flag was used during the American Revolution by the first Corp of Marines in 1775. As the war went on, it's use became wide-spread throughout the Continental Army. It is essentially the "land version" of the 1st Navy Jack. It represents the Colonist's warning to the British Army: "DONT TREAD ON ME." Notice the tail of the rattlesnake - he has 13 rattles, representing the 13 colonies. This flag has been revived for the modern-day Tea Party Movement to bring back limited government to Washington.
