United States Capitol Flag
December 26, 1941
This flag was flown over the United States Capitol on the day of Churchill's address to a Joint Session of Congress, less than three weeks after American entry into World War II. He rallies his audience with a call for unity and resolve, and joked: "If my father had been American and my mother British, instead of the other way around, I might have got here on my own." |
