Description:Excerpt from The American Flag of Stripes and Stars: Mirror of the Nation's History, Symbol of Brotherhood and World UnityThe Americans in khaki enjoy comforts and privileges to which those in the buff and blue or of the sky-blue uniform of 1812, 1848 or 1861 were strangers. Crowning all, are the right and pleasure of fighting under the national flag once the privilege of the sailor only. We must, if true to history, distinguish between regimental colors and the national standard.It is a proof and one, on the whole, which is rather credit able to our people, of the reality of the more perfect union sought and provided for by our fathers, in the constitution of 1787, that, in the popular mind, things relating to the national colors are supposed to have been always what they are now. It is taken for granted that the thirteen-striped flag of the united colonies, from Jan. 2, 1776, and of the United States from July 4, l776, 'to June 14, 1777, when the stars were added, was, as a matter of course, carried in bat tle and was familiary known by sight to every one.
