RHODE ISLAND REGIMENT Flag

Flown by the Rhode Islanders who fought in the American Revolution, this flag was an important part of the colony’s history.  The Rhode Island flag consists of the White Flag of Commonwealth, with a banner, an anchor, and a star field.  The anchor is a symbol of hope, which is also expressed blatantly on the banner.  The star field, like most American ones, is in the top corner and has a star for each of the Thirteen Colonies.
