Notes for flag care:
Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag.

Flag History:
The Battle of Cowpens was a decisive battle fought during the American Revolutionary War on January 17, 1781, in South Carolina. The battle was fought between a force of American Patriots, led by Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, and a larger force of British Loyalists and their allies, led by Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton.
The Patriots were outnumbered and outgunned, but Morgan devised an unconventional battle plan that caught the British off guard. He divided his forces into three lines, with the first two lines pretending to be in disarray, and the third line made up of his best marksmen. When the British charged the first two lines, they retreated, drawing the British into a trap. The third line then emerged from hiding and fired a devastating volley at the confused and disorganized British, causing them to panic and flee.
The battle was a significant victory for the Patriots, and it boosted morale in the southern colonies. The British suffered heavy losses, including many of their officers, and Tarleton was forced to retreat. The Battle of Cowpens is considered one of the most brilliant victories of the American Revolution, and it is still studied as a model of tactical warfare.
