The First Rhode Island Regimental Flag, a relic from the American Revolution, is now on display at the National Museum of the United States Army, thanks to a law change that allowed its removal from Rhode Island. The exhibit, honoring the Army’s 250th anniversary, highlights individual soldiers’ sacrifices and includes insights from historian Rick Atkinson on the early days of the war, emphasizing the pivotal role of George Washington and the transition from militias to a full-time army.
