Over the years, the United States Armed Forces were organized, but no unified attention was given to the colors (flags) representing each branch. After World War II, the need grew for color guards to carry a flag for each of the five official services during ceremonies. These flags became widely adopted, and commercial replicas are now commonly flown by families with military members and supporters nationwide. The official service flags are often embroidered, adorned with cords, tassels, spearheads, fringe, and battle streamers, while this mounted set offers an accessible, dignified way to display them all.
