Commodore Perry Flag

**Flown by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry at the legendary Battle of Lake Erie.**

Annin Flagmakers is a family-owned business that’s been manufacturing our country’s flag since 1847, and has seen it flown everywhere from the top of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima to the surface of the moon. The inspiring slogan comes from the last words of Captain James Lawrence, who spoke them as he lay dying on his ship in battle three months before. Under it, and against the odds, Commodore Perry defeated the entire British squadron, which had him outgunned.
