Since the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, the Gadsden flag has been flown throughout the United States by a great number of people.
Customs officials at US ports as well as military personnel in every part of the country hoist the Gadsden flag on a daily basis. In fact, it’s now flown on all active naval ships, and the snake from the flag’s imagery now appears on the US Army Drill Sergeant Identification Badge.
US soccer fans have also begun using the Gadsden flag to support the nation’s team. Nike even uses the image of a snake wrapped around a soccer ball for its patriotic “Don’t Tread on Me” campaign, which supports the US men’s national team.
The Free State Project presented the town manager of Killington, Vermont, with a Gadsden flag after Killington decided to pursue secession from the state. The Free State Project also customized the Gadsden flag by switching out the rattlesnake for a porcupine, which is the organization’s official mascot.
The Gadsden flag is also flown for historical reasons in places like Charleston, South Carolina, where the flag’s designer, Christopher Gadsden, first presented the flag.
Band’s such as Metallica, who put the Gadsden flag’s snake of the cover of their “Black Album”, and 311 have used the flag as inspiration. The Gadsden flag can also be seen in the film, “The Patriot”.
Most recently, the Gadsden flag has been used during the 2009 Tea Party protests.

To me it is a shame that divisive organizations, the various tea party gatherings, decided to use the Gadsen flag in some of their meetings. Nothing could be further from the historical significance and ideals of Gadsen and the Don’t Tread on Me Emblem, than these tea parties. Our revolutionary heros fought for a UNITED country and the tea party people scream and yell to deny the very freedom this country gained by fighting a just revolution to overthrow an unjust king then ruling the USA as colonies.
