FLAG DESCRIPTION / HISTORY 1774 - The flag is a yellow field with 13 blue and silver stripes painted on the upper hoist canton. The origianl version probably had a Kings Colors canton. Flags of that time were often hand painted designs. Modern versions are digitally printed on nylon. Embassy Flag can offer hand painted replica flags. In the center of the flag is a blue shield bearing a golden knot from which radiate thirteen golden scrolls like the ends of as many strips of ribbon, a very early example of the idea expressed by the motto: "E pluribus unum". The head of a bay horse bearing a white star on his forehead appears as a crest, while as supporters are "a Continental masquerading as an Indian", holding a golden staff surmounted by a liberty cap, and an angel with a staff in one hand and a golden trumpet in the other. These figures symbolize liberty and fame. Beneath on a ribbon is the motto: "For these we strive", and over the crest appears the cipher letters "L.H." (ref; Society of Sons of the Revolution, New Jersey) The Light Horse Troop of Philadelphia (later name The First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry) was a volunteer cavalry troop organized in 1774, offering their services to the Continental Congress defense of the colonies. Today the Troop is the oldest mounted military unit and possibly the oldest military unit of any kind in continuous service to the country. They fought along side the Continental Army at the Battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown. It is the oldest continuously serving unit of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
