Description: The Bedford Flag - First Battle Flag (1775) The Bedford flag on display at the Bedford Free Public Library is the oldest known surviving intact flag in the United States. It is celebrated for having been the first U.S. flag flown during the American Revolutionary War, as it is believed to have been carried by Nathaniel Page's outfit of Minutemen to the Old North Bridge in Concord for the Battle of Concord on April 19, 1775. The Latin motto on the flag, "Vince Aut Morire", means "Conquer or Die."
