US Navy Jack Flag Sticker — First Navy Jack “Don’t Tread on Me” Flag Vinyl Sticker
The First Navy Jack — the oldest flag in the United States Navy.
The US Navy Jack Flag sticker reproduces the First Navy Jack — a flag with thirteen alternating red and white stripes and a rattlesnake stretching diagonally across with the motto “Don’t Tread on Me.” The First Navy Jack is traditionally considered the first flag flown by the Continental Navy in 1775, and it has been flown by U.S. Navy warships during periods of national significance. From 2002 to 2019, the Secretary of the Navy directed all active Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack in place of the standard union jack as a symbol of resolve during the Global War on Terror.
The First Navy Jack combines the striped field representing the original thirteen colonies with the rattlesnake imagery that was a defining symbol of the American Revolution. For Navy sailors and veterans, the flag represents the oldest traditions of American naval service — the willingness to take the fight to the enemy on the open ocean. The “Don’t Tread on Me” motto carried the same defiant warning at sea that it carried on land: America would defend its sovereignty with lethal force against any who challenged it.
Perfect For:
U.S. Navy sailors and veterans, naval history enthusiasts, American Revolution heritage supporters, patriotic flag sticker collectors, and anyone who honors the Navy’s oldest traditions.
First Navy Jack. Don’t Tread on Me.
