Commander-in-Chief Flag – Flown Over Mount Vernon

Chosen unanimously by Congress on June 19th of 1775, George Washington would accept the role of leading the Continental Army against the British, along with the title Commander in Chief.

Only a few weeks later would he assume full command – onJuly 3rd, 1775,in Cambridge, Massachusetts– as the Continental Armybegan surrounding the British Army in Boston.

As the Commander in Chief,Washingtonfollowed the typical European tradition of having apersonal flag designed for his role and title– as monarchs, generals, and other leading officials often hadduring this period.

The completed flag would have been located anywhereGeneral Washingtonwas present, whether on the battlefield, stationed at his headquarters, or on the march; for this reason, the Commander in Chief Flag is also commonly referred to as the Washington’s Headquarter Flag.

Made in America with modern materials,this rendition of the Commander in Chief flaghas beenrecreated from its historical roots, while designed to endure outdoor elements.

Featuring the original’s 13 defining six-pointed stars, the design carries a symbolic honor, and is an ode to George Washington– both as the first U.S. President, and as the leader of the Continental Army.
