Historical Background
The official U.S. Army Flag was adopted on June 12, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, though its roots trace back to the Revolutionary War when the Continental Army first fought for independence in 1775. The central seal features a bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, a red, white, and blue shield, and the motto “This We’ll Defend.” The white field represents purity and integrity, while the design draws from the Army’s coat of arms established in 1778. For over 250 years, the Army has served as the backbone of America’s defense, from the battles of the Revolution to modern global operations. The flag stands as a powerful symbol of sacrifice, valor, and unwavering commitment to protecting the nation’s freedoms.
