Join the U.S. Navy and Proud Americans in Warning:
"Don't Tread on Me"
Eagle Special Products and the United States Navy Memorial Foundation Proudly Present a Special Edition First Navy Jack Flag
First Navy Jack Flag
by Collectible
The U.S. Navy is relying on a historic icon to remind the world of America's strength and courage. The rattlesnake has been a favorite symbol of independence throughout America's history. Adopted as a uniquely American icon by early patriots, such as Benjamin Franklin, the rattlesnake represents American unity. Individually, its rattles have no sound, but united they can be heard by all. And while it does not strike unless threatened, once provoked, the deadly rattlesnake never surrenders.
(continued from above)
The rattlesnake was used as a symbol of resistance to British repressive acts in Colonial America. Flags bearing rattlesnakes and bearing the simple warning "Don't Tread on Me" were flown on the first ships of the Continental Navy in the Delaware River in 1775.
Today, as America faces unprecedented threats, this historic symbol of our founding has emerged as a powerful reminder of our origin and true courage. Since May 2002, all U.S. Navy ships have flown the First Navy Jack from 8 a.m. to sunset daily while in port. The temporary substitution for the Union Jack represents a historic reminder of the nation's and Navy's origin and will to persevere and triumph during the global war on terrorism.
Eagle Special Products has joined with the United States Navy Memorial Foundation to bring our members a special edition First Navy Jack Flag. Created to meet the standards of flag construction established by the United States Navy Memorial Foundation, each 3' x 5' flag in this edition is handmade, piece-constructed together, and then marrow-stitched. We have also arranged for each First Navy Jack Flag to be hand-raised according to tradition over the U.S. Navy Memorial. Your flag will be accompanied by a certificate documenting that it was flown over the U.S. Navy Memorial.
We invite you to proudly display this American symbol and send a message to the world that America will stand up to its aggressors and preserve liberty.

I served in the U.S. Army- in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner with the 240th AHC, helicopter door gunner: 68-70. I worked for and retired from Chrysler-30.5 years and am also a disabled Vet.
I think that the first Navy Jack rattlesnake flag is very symbolic and correct for our Patriots/ Veterans and lovers of the U.S. Constitution in 2009! I intend to buy and show this flag in Union Grove, WI at every holiday and event to remind everyone where we all came from and why.

SUPER!
What a wonderful way to reaffirm the country's traditional heritage by showing it! Generations of political correctness has led to ignorance and disrespect for our history and its symbols in the public schools and public square. What is seen cannot be so easily dismissed! 'Don't tread on me.' Let's begin to show our heritage in other ways!! Thank you.
