Rhode Island Regiment Flag |
The native Rhode Islanders
were among the first to join the Minutemen outside Boston. The Rhode
Island Regiments served at the Battles of Brandywine, Trenton and
Yorktown. In Rhode Island the anchor has been used as a state symbol
ever since 1647 which is evident in the current State flag. The anchor
represents Rhode Island's seafaring activities and the thirteen stars,
the original thirteen colonies. This flag is preserved today in the
State House at Providence, Rhode Island. |
