The United States Army Flag was officially adopted by order of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on June 12, 1956. Although the United States Army came into being June 14, 1775, various elements of the Army, from groups and corps down to separate battalions, have their own colors and distinguishing flags, none had previously served for the Army as a whole. It is made of white silk, upon which is embroidered in blue, a replica of the original War Office seal.

Created by Congress on 4 August 1790 at the request of Alexander Hamilton as the “Revenue Marine,” it is the oldest continuous seagoing service of the United States. As Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton headed the Revenue Marine, whose original purpose was that of a collector of customs duties in the nation’s seaports. By the 1860s the service was known as the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service. The modern Coast Guard was formed from the merger of the Revenue Cutter
                                                    Service and the U.S. Life-Saving Service on January 28, 1915 and has been involved in every war from 1790 up to the
​                                                    Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan.

Little information is available concerning the flags carried initially by the Marines. However, some sources state that the Grand Union Flag was carried ashore during a landing on New Providence Island, 3 March 1776. For almost 150 years the Corps carried a wide array of flags into battle. Corps Order No. 4, dated April 18, 1925, designated the official colors of the Marine Corps to be gold and scarlet. These colors were not reflected in the official Marine Corps flag until January 18
​                                                   1939, as a new design incorporating the required colors was approved, which was very close in appearance to today’s      
​                                                    Marine Corps flag.

The U.S. Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, established during the Revolutionary War and was essentially disbanded as a separate entity shortly thereafter. It played a major role in the American Civil War by blockading the Confederacy and seizing control of its rivers. It played the central role in the World War II in supplying food and weapons to allied forces in Europe and Africa, and was integral in the defeat of Japan. The 21st century U.S. Navy maintains a
​                                                     sizable global presence making it an active player in U.S. foreign and defense policy.
