48 Star Flag with Pole: Aged Vintage Condition US Flag
48 Star United States Flag: Some edge fray, some staining 3 feet x 5 feet. The 48-star flag is the flag that soldiers and sailors fought for during World War II. It is the flag to which children, mothers, and wives pledged their allegiance at home while their loved ones went into battle overseas. It is the flag that the Marines raised over Iwo Jima in 1945. On August 21, 1959, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10834 establishing the design of the 50-star flag. First officially raised over Fort McHenry National Historic Site on July 4, 1960.
