The wind beats hell out of the National Colors here at the ranch. I need an alternate to fly occasionally. I like the coiled motif on the Gadsden but I've never been fond of the yellow color.
I like the design of the 1st naval jack but might it confuse some being as how it's a lonnng way to the water from here? ;)
Issues such as this fill my day.:D

If the wind is as bad as it is here, both, alternate the two instead just the one.

It's not the distance to the water, it's the message.
We have a few yellows here, think I'll go with Navy one.

Wind? Near Pigeon Ditch? LOL...springtime in the Rockies...I'd go with the Naval jack...I agree about the color of the Gadsden...
Yellow means caution - plus it stands out well. Have one on the back of my car.
Most people remain clueless as to what any of them are.
Have a full Gadsden flag in the window. Looks good from the street at night when the lights are on. Have it turned so you can read it from the street.
The yellow never appealed to me, either, but there are a few more historical options available out there...

The Culpepper Flag could use some color...looks like a surrender flag from a distance...

Perhaps...but only if it had a fleur de lys printed on it. ;)

Gents,
I have always been partial to the Ben Franklin flag.
If you need a flag to say something about your personality or mental stability??
Larry is one of us..

I do like the motto on the 1845 Florida Flag but find it aesthetically unpleasant and rather chaotic from a heraldic standpoint.

Got one of them also - and also from Larry. A nice man to do business with him. Prompt service on all orders.

According to a conversation on O'Reilly last night with Al Sharpton, they are trying to equate the Gadsden flag with the Tea Party movement and "radicalism and racism".

I wouldn't let that disuade anyone from getting anything, according to Al Sharpton if one drives a black car they're racists...why it got to be black :rolleyes: :D
Standard Al Sharpton....the pot calling the kettle black...oh no I must be a racist I said the pot was black....and it is... :rolleyes:

Gents,
I have always been partial to the Ben Franklin flag.
Well that was actually a woodcut he published in the Pennsylvania Gazette. I don't know if it was ever made into a flag. It was possibly the inspiration for the Gadsden.

"Come and take it" under the image of a cannon barrel? That I like!

I'd fly an Alamo flag but alas I'm afraid it would be misinterpreted round here.;)

I am partial to the Culpepper flag, I wear it on my vest. :)
If Al is against it I can think of no better reason to be for it. :munchin :D

Sent my order in for a regimental flag. Now I need a naval jack, perhaps a Culpepper, and I almost forgot... a Colorado flag.
And a rotation schedule.:
Once again my simple plan has morphed into a money spending project. Dammit. Nothing's simple. :D
This would be a good one - flag of the First Continental Regiment.
Domari Nolo "I Refuse to be Subjugated"
Did they ever refuse to be subjugated. These guys were everywhere. They were important in Washington's siege of Boston. They stayed behind and were the last to leave after covering the main army's dangerous nick of time retreat from Long Island. They crossed the Delaware with Washington. They were "at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and every major skirmish, and battle all the way to Yorktown" where they fought “the most important part of the siege” (according to General Steuben). They saw Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown and this flag was there. These guys saw action in every one of the original 13 colonies.
“P.M. 1st. Rt” is said to mean “Pennsylvania Militia 1st Regiment - although it is not clear why the term militia applies to them as Congress authorized by resolution that companies of these Pennsylvania riflemen be raised and formed into a rifle battalion. These men were, therefore, not Pennsylvania Militia - they were raised and organized by Congress, not the Pennsylvania state government.
