#OnThisDate September 3, 1777 - Birth Of A Symbol

The Stars And Stripes Was Raised For The First Time In Battle During The Skirmish At Cooch’s Bridge, Delaware, Marking A Defining Moment In American History.

As General George Washington’s Continental Army Clashed With British Forces Under General William Howe, The Fledgling Nation’s Flag — A Powerful Symbol Of Unity And Defiance — Flew Proudly On The Battlefield.

This Engagement, Though Minor In The Larger Context Of The Philadelphia Campaign, Carried Immense Symbolic Weight.

The Flag, Newly Adopted By The Continental Congress Just Three Months Earlier On June 14, 1777, Represented The Colonies' Collective Resolve To Achieve Independence.

The Event Solidified The American Flag's Status As A Potent Emblem Of Freedom And National Identity, A Symbol That Would Inspire Countless Generations In The Ongoing Pursuit Of Liberty And Justice.
