There were seven flags over Texas... The Green Flag. It is the first flag of Texas Independence. Without it, the spark that lit the revolt for liberty in our state may not have occurred. It was not a flag of conquest, but a flag of self-rule. It was not a flag to build an empire, but to end an unjust one. It was a precious flag, wrapping those who carried it with the ideals of equality. It was the first breathe of a new life; the first step of a long journey; the sign of a new beginning. It is the Green Flag. It is the first flag of Texas Independence.
