This doesn't come up in modern warfare, but in earlier wars, commanders would have flags to help their troops to find them on the battlefield, so that the army would stay together and would know where to go for orders. Battles tend to get very confusing, with all sorts of people running around all over the place, so flags helped to give battles some element of coherence. Today, with radio communication, we have more effective means of doing that.

What is the value of a 1999 s Delaware state quarter with different design on back?
My 1999 S Delaware quarter has the word "COPY" imprinted over Washingtons head on the front and the back design has United States of America and E Pluribus Unum across the top. Caeser Rodney rides East not West and Has the state of Delaware behind him. To the upper left of that is the date of 1787 and below states Delaware Quarter Dollar. I also have a 2004 S Washington D.C. with the same "COPY" over Washington's head and a picture of the White House and Washington Monument on the back.

Where is the statue of George Washington standing in frozen water?
George Washington was stand on the frozen Delaware River. In a legendary episode of the American war of independence, George Washington led his army across the Delaware on Christmas night 1776, to surprise Hessian mercenaries in the pay of the British. History bows gracefully and leaves the field to myth in this famously fanciful picture. Details such as the American flag - not adopted until six months after Washington's crossing - and the type of boat are inaccurate. The painting's efficiency as national myth is easy to see: the flag, set off by a searing silvery sky, towers over the scene, its shaft soaring heavenward, Washington a figure of invincible resolution.
