Gonzales flag

"100% Heavyweight SolarGuard Nylon. Features strong duck heading and two large brass grommets. Durable and fast drying. The Gonzales Flag, originally designed in 1835, is making a comeback today. The flagtraces its origins to a minor skirmish, the Battle of Gonzales, during the Texas revolution. The Mexican government had originally given a small cannon to the colony of Gonzales to protect itself against raids by Comanche Indians six years earlier,and during the revolution was attempting to take back the cannon. The people of Gonzales successfully resisted the Mexican troops and created the handmade Gonzales flag to wave during the battle with the Mexicans, sending a message to Come and Take It ."
