Come and Take It - 3'X5' Polyester Flag

Made of a high quality polyester material, our Dura-Poly Come and Take ItĀ flag measures 3' x 5' and includes vivid colors and an accurate design. The flag is screen-printed on a durable 150 denier shiny polyester material and is finished with a double stitched hem. The flag features a white fabric header with two brass grommets on the 3' side for easy display. The flag is best used indoors but can withstand occasional outdoor use. The authentic design is based on information from official sources.

This flag is also called the Gonzales Banner of 1835. In 1831 Mexican authorities provided the settlers of Gonzales with a cannon for their protection. As Santa Anna assumed more power and civil unrest began to spread, the Mexican military felt it unwise to leave the residents of Gonzales with a weapon so the Mexican Military Militia went to Gonzales to retrieve the cannon. The Texans responded by raising a banner that included a star over a cannon over the words "Come and Take it".

It is important to remember that since no physical evidence is available and the earliest written account dates decades after the flag was used, it is almost impossible to know the exact cannon design and coloring of the Gonzales Banner.
