History of the US Army Flag
This specific flag and image were newly adopted on Flag Day which was revealed on June 14, 1956. It also happened to be the 181st anniversary of the US army and when the public unveiling of the flag occurred. The Secretary of the US Army, Wilbur M. Brucker did the honors. Before 1956, there was no official flag that acted to represent the entire service and the Army was the only service that didn’t have a flag to represent it.
