If you are a serious flag collector or if you plan on displaying your flag outdoors, you should consider our line of Nylon flags. Our Fort Moultrie flags are made of 100% Nylon, finished with canvas headings and brass grommets, primarily for outdoor use. Nylon flags are heavier than Polyester and stand up well to sun exposure. A Nylon flag provides a longer life of service and enjoyment. MADE IN THE USA!

On Sept. 13, 1775, Colonel Moultrie received an order to take Fort Johnson, South Carolina. He had this flag made, for the troops wore a silver crescent on the caps inscribed 'Liberty or Death.' 'This was the first American flag displayed in the South,' he said. On June 28, 1776, the crescent flag, with LIBERTY across it, was raised at his defense of Sullivan's Island, later Fort Moultrie.
