Appeal to Heaven Flag — Made in USA. When Washington’s sailors set out against impossible odds, they didn’t ask for favorable winds. They made an Appeal to Heaven. This is the authentic Pine Tree flag flown by Washington’s Cruisers in 1775 — printed on premium 200-denier heavyweight nylon and made to order in America. Available single or double sided in sizes from 12×18 inch up to monumental 20×30 ft.
🏴 Single Sided or Double Sided — Which is Right for You?
Single Sided: The design prints through to the reverse side, reversed and ever so slightly lighter — but very visible and perfectly legible. This is the standard outdoor flag used on flagpoles worldwide and is an excellent choice for most applications.
Double Sided: Two complete flag panels are sewn together with a liner in between to reduce bleed-through. Because the text reads correctly from both sides, this is ideal for locations where the flag is viewed from both directions — entrances, gates, overhangs, or anywhere wind direction varies. The liner gives it a premium, substantial feel.
★ Want Extra Grommets?
Add 2 extra grommets (top & bottom) to any flag for a more secure, professional vertical mount.

The Story Behind the Flag
In October 1775, Colonel Joseph Reed wrote to General Washington: “What do you think of a flag with a white ground and a tree in the middle, the motto ‘AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN’ — this is the flag of our floating batteries.”
Washington’s men were outnumbered, outgunned, facing the greatest naval power on earth. They hoisted this flag anyway — a declaration that their rights were God-given and no earthly power could extinguish them. By February 1776, six armed vessels of the United Colonies flew it. In April, the Massachusetts council made it official: “a white flag, with a green pine tree, and the inscription, ‘An Appeal to Heaven.’”
Today it flies as a symbol of faith, constitutional liberty, and trust in Providence — embraced by millions of Americans who believe that the cause of freedom ultimately rests not in governments or armies, but in the hand of God.
✌ The Modern Revival — Dutch Sheets & Give Him 15
The Appeal to Heaven flag experienced a powerful modern revival through the work of Dutch Sheets, a prominent Christian prayer leader and author. In his book An Appeal to Heaven (2015), Sheets drew on the flag’s founding history as a call to prayer for America’s restoration — awakening a new generation to its significance.
When Sheets launched his Give Him 15 daily prayer podcast in 2020, its audience grew rapidly into one of the largest Christian prayer communities in the country. Through that platform, the Appeal to Heaven flag became a rallying symbol for believers across the nation — appearing at prayer gatherings, state capitols, church sanctuaries, and front porches from coast to coast.
For millions of Americans, flying this flag is not a political statement — it is a declaration of faith: that this nation was founded under Providence, and that its future rests there still.
