This is a desk top background that I made. Feel free to use it if you'd like (but I guess that would have to mean you like soccer). And if you do use it, let me know...Thanks.
I love how everytime the US Men play this picture gets a bunch of hits and when they win, even more.

As the first ships of the Continental Navy readied in in late 1775 on the Delaware River, Commodore Esek Hopkins issued, in a set of fleet signals, an instruction directing his vessels to fly a "striped" jack and ensign. Likely to have been the Grand Union Flag, and the jack a simplified version of the ensign: a field of 13 horizontal red and white stripes. However, the jack has traditionally been depicted as consisting of thirteen red and white stripes charged with an uncoiled rattlesnake and the motto "Dont Tread on Me"; The rattlesnake had long been a symbol of resistance to the British in Colonial America. The phrase "Don't tread on me" was coined during the American Revolutionary War: The Timber Rattlesnake is especially significant and symbolic to the American Revolution: The rattle has thirteen layers, signifying the original Thirteen Colonies. And, the snake does not strike until provoked, a quality echoed by the phrase "Don't tread on me."
The First Navy Jack was first used in recent history during the Bicentennial year, 1976, when all commissioned naval vessels were directed to fly it for the entire year, in lieu of the standard fifty-star jack.
In 1980, Edward Hidalgo, the Secretary of the Navy, directed that the ship with the longest active status shall display the First Navy Jack until decommissioned or transferred to inactive service ..... then the flag will be passed to the next ship in line. This honor was conferred on the following U.S. Navy vessels:
1981–1982: Destroyer tender USS Dixie (AD-14), commissioned 1940
1982–1993: Destroyer tender USS Prairie (AD-15), commissioned 1940
1993–1993: Submarine tender USS Orion (AS-18), commissioned 1943
1993–1995: Repair Ship USS Jason (AR-8), commissioned 1944
1995–1995: Ammunition ship USS Mauna Kea (AE-22), commissioned 1957
1995–1998: Aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62), commissioned 1959
1998–2009: Aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), commissioned in 1961
2009-present: Aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65), commissioned 1961
September 11, 2001 In 2002 The Secretary of the Navy directed all Navy ships to fly the First Naval Jack as a "temporary substitution" for the Jack of the United States "during the Global War on Terrorism". Most vessels made the switch on September 11, 2002, the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The flag is flying at half mast in respect to those killed in the attack on the Washington Navy Yard shootings. The ship was visiting Hong Kong for a few days and nicely parked at the cruise terminal in the city,
View of the bow of the USS Constitution, or "Old Ironsides", the world's oldest commissioned floating warship. (HMS Victory is 30 years older, but in permanent drydock. Constitution still floats, a distinction the guides make a point of being clear about.)
As an active-duty ship, Constitution is staffed by Navy personnel at the Charlestown Navy Yard national park. Tours of the ship are free & open to the public.
We used to go see the ship during field trips when I was a kid. I can now attest that two year olds love it, too :-)
Complementary views of the ship: bow & stern.
Treating this as a dry-run for another version I'll do later in the summer, if I get a chance. I had a hard time lining up all the lines in the edges -- all those ropes & chains & walkways & rigging lines. More importantly, the ship is being renovated right now, so the tops of the masts are missing, there's a temporary roof over the main deck, etc.
It will be much prettier over the summer after the construction work is over.
At the left here behind Constitution you can catch a glimpse of the mast of the USS Taylor (FFG-50), an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate that was visiting at the time. You can make out more of it in these two montages taken from the stern of the USS Cassin Young nearby.

Plus, of course, the other photomontages I've been putting up over the last few months.

This version would be excellent as a raw image for a silkscreen or poster. Your are welcome to use this or any of these DONT TREAD OM ME images for your own purposes.
Was playing with some lighting. The light behind was supposed to be hidden (used for back lighting to separate subject from background) Well I wasn't covering it properly, however I liked the effect it had. A mistake, but a good mistake I think.
This image is inspired by the protest demonstrations against Wisconsin’s new union-busting governor, Scott Walker.

I usually try to be very respectful of other people's beliefs and try to spread goodwill rather than negativity, but I'm fed up with the damned Tea Party, which represents all that I find wrong about the current state of American politics.
In the area where I live in Virginia, it is possible to get a license plate with this "Gadsen Flag" which is actually a Revolutionary War banner that has been co-opted and perverted into a symbol of the Tea Party. I am often dismayed by how many of these plates I see on the roads and often wish that there was a good counter symbol. After a brief internet search, I was unable to find many that that I really liked, so I made my own!
You have a right to believe what you want to believe in. I feel that you can believe in this Tea Party crap and still be a generally good person, so if this offends you, don't take it too personally, it just means we disagree on this one thing, I still love you, I just wish you'd understand why the policies you support are so destructive. That said, it's not my job to try and school you on the error of your ways.
My posting this is NOT an open invitation to a debate, it is just me expressing myself. Experience has taught me that there is no greater waste of time than trying to get into a political argument with someone on the internet. It's not that I am unable to defend my position with facts and reason, I can do a pretty good job of that actually, it's that I simply don't have the time for it, and I doubt I will convince you I'm right or you will convince me that you're right. So let's not even go there, okay?
If you DO like this, then copy and make it go viral!
