Were the stars and stripes first brought in to wave over a battlefield in Delaware? The Battle of Cooch's Bridge will be re-enacted on August 24th, and some controversy exists as to whether or not the Stars and Stripes had yet been sewn in response to the Congressional Flag Resolution. The Continental Congress had officially decided what the flag would look like on June 14th, 1777. Fighting at Cooch's Bridge took place a few months later on September 3rd. Another re-enactment, that of the Battle of the Brandywine, will take place on September 22 near Chadds-Ford, Pa.
