Virginia Revolutionary Order Heritage Flags

The Virginia Heritage 1st State of the United States of Flag is based upon the official American Flag.  However, there is a single golden star.  The single gold stars represents Virginia as the first official state to ratify the first government of the USA: The Articles of Confederation on December 16, 1777.  A generation later, Virginia became the 10th state within the framework of the US Constitution.

The flag above is a combined rank flag that reflects Virginia as the first state of the USA under the Articles of Confederation and tenth state under the reboot, the US Constitution.   

Consequently the hour of Virginia begins at 1:10 AM.  So it is, that Virginia was there at the beginning.  The dawn of each new day at 1:10 am say a prayer for Virginia.


Virginia 10th State US Constitution Heritage Flag
Another heritage flag for Virginia is its US Constitution Heritage flag.  In this flag there are 10 stars in the canton that represent Virginia's place as the 10th state to accept the US Constitution on June 25, 1788.

Most people recognize Virginia as the 10th State.  Yet, Virginia was the 1st State of the Union during the American Revolution.
