Fort Mifflin Flag Morale Patch by Texas 144.1

The Flag of Fort Mifflin is somewhat unique in its arrival to the history books because it was originally a Continental Navy Jack . The defenders of Fort Mifflin borrowed the flag from the very small American navy that helped vex the British along the Delaware River.  They had no other flag and to signal to the surrounding area that the fort still lay in American hands, the troops relentlessly kept the colorful flag flying, even during the five day assault at the end.  At one point the flag was shot down and two soldiers died putting it back up.

Today the Flag of Fort Mifflin still flies on site at the fort because it is technically a base for the US Army Corp of Engineers making it the oldest active military base in use today.  Its mesmerizing stripes of red, white, and blue captured on our patch are a reminder of what commitment, duty, and grit really mean, and a symbol of American resolve.
