"Made from 100% SolarGuard Nylon, America's No. 1 choice for Flags. Heading is sturdy duck with strong brass grommets. Durable and fast-drying, the dyed design conforms to official specifications. Available in five sizes. The Flag of the District of Columbia, USA, consists of three red stars above two red bars on a white background. It is based on the design of the coat of arms of George Washington, first used to identify the family in the twelfth century, when one of George Washington's ancestors took possession of Washington Old Hall, then in County Durham, north-east England. For heraldic reasons, the stars are properly called mullets."
