United States Flag



The flag of the United States also known as the American flag, Old World flag, or U.S. flag, is the national flag of the United States of America.

Background
Delta IX rockets have a 50 star flag painted on the side. Trifold American flags were given as commemoration for military service. One of these flags from an Anchorage veteran was donated to the Treasures of Jamaica Plain exhibit. After the Great War, the Enclave continued to use the American flag, modified with their own insignia.

Behind the scenes

 * Tim Cain commented that the 13 star flag was used because Leonard Boyarsky favored it, planning on creating a backstory to it that never materialized.
 * The flags seen in game mirror real world flags utilized over the course of the United States' history.
 * Prior to the release of Fallout 3 in 2008, the 13-star version (thirteen stars centered around a larger one in the middle) was widely accepted as the standing version. However, Bethesda Game Studios used a different flag, with 12 stars surrounding the central one, while Obsidian Entertainment has used the earlier, 13 star variant extensively in Lonesome Road and other add-ons for Fallout: New Vegas. Since Fallout 4's release in 2015, Bethesda Softworks switched to using thirteen stars surrounding a large, central star once more.
