The First Navy Jack
First introduced on Continental Naval ships in the fall of 1775, The First Navy Jack Flag consisted of 13 red and white stripes which were to represent the 13 colonies. Historically there isn’t an exact date as to when the flag changed, but sometime in the years that followed the flag was altered to what it is known now which is 13 red and white alternating stripes with and uncoiled rattlesnake imposed over the stripes with the motto underneath stating “Don’t Tread on Me”. The flag with the rattlesnake and motto on it have typically been used since 1880. The snake is meant to be a symbol of resistance towards the British from the time of Colonial America. The Phrase of “Don’t Tread on Me” was introduced during the Revolutionary War, also the meaning behind the phrase is simple in that a snake doesn’t strike until provoked. Other flags that The United States have used over the years that also depict a snake are flags like The Gadsden Flag, and The Culpepper Flag. All three of these flags play a role in the progression of flags and their meanings throughout American flag history.

2013 Flag-Works Catalog
The last time Flag-Works put out a catalog was in 2007-2008 our first catalog was produced in 1997. If you still have one you will be happy to know that we have decided to make a new catalog for 2013. First we are going to edit the prices of the old catalog. When each page is done it will be posted here on Flag-Works blog. Once all the prices are corrected we will add new items and spice up the catalog. We will be looking for ideas on a cover photo.

The All American Flag Workout
I would like to outline a fitness regime that works with the American flag.
Low level workout consists of looking up a website on the internet, www.flag-works.com. Then purchasing a flag and spinning pole that will attach to the side of your house. OK, now rest for a couple of days until the American flag and flagpole arrive. The next step is to open your package, install the flag bracket using a screwdriver, (lower level use a power drill) and hang up your flag. Now rest, your work out is done. Enjoy your flag!
Upper low level workout, Drive to Flag-Works over America buy an American flag set, drive home and install your flagpole as in the low level work out. Enjoy your flag!
Low Moderate workout consists of looking up a website on the internet, www.flag-works.com, purchasing a 20 flagpole Commander set for the front yard. When the flagpole comes in dig a small hole. Mix and pour cement into the hole to install your ground sleeve. While the cement dries, rest. The next day put your flagpole together and install it into the ground sleeve. Then take out your flag and attach it to your rope and raise your brand new 3×5 American flag. Enjoy your flag!
Moderate workout consists of all of the above and the addition of raising the flag every morning and lowering and folding your American flag every evening. When you feel you reached your exercise goal with this work out go to Flag-Works over America and order a Liberty light for your flagpole. The light will light your flag at night eliminating the need to raise and lower your flag.
The all American workout, This workout consists of driving to Flag-Works over America, buying a 25 fiberglass flagpole and a 5×8 American flag. Assisting the owner in attaching the flagpole to the roof of your car and taking the flagpole home. Once home you dig a 2.5 foot deep hole by 15″ to 24″ wide (if you have not done any of the previous workouts please rest) Now mix from 4-6 bags of cement and install your ground sleeve. Rest and let the cement dry overnight. The next day install your flagpole in the sleeve and raise your flag. Enjoy your flag.
The all American maximum flagpole workout. This workout consists of all the steps above and the addition of raising the flag every morning and lowering and folding your American flag every evening. When you feel you reached your exercise goal with this work out go to Flag-Works over America, order online, a Liberty light for your flagpole. The light will light your flag at night eliminating the need to raise and lower your flag.
In summary: For a lot of you out there, the above workouts will never feel like a workout, because of the pride you will exalt in having your very own American flag flying over your home. For others it may be the beginning of a long healthy, and fit life.

A Proud Moment
Note: Simulation of what I saw.
I was walking down the street today, when I saw a fire truck with an American flag flying on top. (I wish I took a picture) It looked like a 3×5 nylon flag. As the truck slowed to go through the 4 way red light, I was able to read a few things. First I read Concord, NH on the side of the truck. Then I looked closely at the header on the American flag. What I saw made me very proud, I was able to discern my logo on the header. Yes, it was a flag that Flag-Works over America sold to the City of Concord, NH. The pride I felt sent chills through my body. If anyone has a story to relate feel free to email me or comment below.
