This 12" x 18" Marine Corps flag is much better quality than most in this size. It is printed on a quality poly-cotton fabric and sewn around the edges for extra durability. A sewn pole sleeve is used to attach the flag to the 24 inch wooden stick. It is suitable for use in parades and for display on veterans' graves. The Marine Corps flag is scarlet with the Marine Corps emblem, which contains a fouled anchor, a globe displaying the western hemisphere and a spread American Bald Eagle atop the globe. A ribbon held in the eagle's beak carries the Marine motto, "Semper Fidelis," (Latin for "always faithful"). Below the emblem a larger ribbon holds the title, "United States Marine Corps".
