United States Flag (U.S. Army) White Coffee Mug

The United States Flag used by the U.S. Army is a symbol of national pride and military service. This flag version differs from the standard American flag primarily in its construction details, tailored to meet the demands of military use. The U.S. Army flag features a design consisting of thirteen equal horizontal stripes alternating between red and white, representing the original colonies, with fifty white five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows within a blue field. The stars represent the current states of the United States of America. However, there are subtle differences from the civilian version of the flag. For instance, the Army flag's stripes and stars are sewn onto a canvas instead of the traditional nylon material, making it more durable for military applications. Additionally, the canton (the blue field with white stars) is usually embroidered to create a more defined appearance. The U.S. Army flag serves as an important emblem, not only reflecting the nation's history but also representing the Army's traditions and values. It is flown at military installations, bases, and during official Army functions. The flag shares the same deep symbolism as the standard American flag, but its specific construction signifies its role in the U.S. military.
