Image caption: General Washington wrote to the president of Congress: "We hoisted the Union flag in compliment to the United Colonies." This first rally flag of the United Colonies, thus called by Washington the "Union Flag," but generally known as the "Cambridge Flag," was first hoisted January 1, 1776, on Prospect Hill, Somerville, Mass., where this Flag Memorial Monument now stands.
