Old Glory! Flag Day, June 14 ... Betsy Ross Did US Proud

Old Glory! Flag Day is June 14, and it is also the birthday of the U.S. Army. In celebration, I am posting this photo of Betsy Ross showing off what will come to be known as "Old Glory" to George Washington. This is from the Library of Congress. It is a painting by Percy Moran. He painted it about 1917.

Old Glory - this painting is titled "The Birth of Old Glory"
