Historical References
Much of what we do at Gettysburg Flag Works is rooted in history. In educating ourselves and our customers, we've also created quite the collection of reference materials which we are making available to you here. Follow the many links to learn more about our shared American history and how it relates to our current use of flags and banners. After all, have you ever heard of a war won by a group who didn't fight under a flag?
