The American colonists' "Continental Colours", or Grand Union Flag, was first hoisted on the colonial warship USS Alfred, in the harbor on the western shore of the Delaware River at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 3, 1775, by newly-appointed Lieutenant John Paul Jones of the formative Continental Navy. The event had been documented in letters to Congress and eyewitness accounts. The flag was used by the American Continental Army forces as both a naval ensign and garrison flag throughout 1776 and early 1777.

Daniel Hannan gets "it." Someone should invite him to an Appleseed Event. I bet he could add a thing or two to the Three Strikes.
