Positioned below the rattlesnake are the words "Don't tread on me". The flag is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden (1724–1805), who designed it in 1775 during the American Revolution. It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag, along with the Moultrie Flag.

Why should the American Flag never touch the ground?

For an American it is disrespectful to our wonderful country to let the flag touch the ground. Since the flag is a symbol of our freedom in the United States, we treat it like a person the proper way to rid of a flag that has touched the ground is to bury it. If you have ever heard the Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem, there is a part in it that says "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." The American Flag is a symbol of our PROUD, FREECOUNTRY, so we do not want it to touch the ground since it is considered sacred.Being that we walk on the ground, it is disrespectful for our pride, the American Flag, to be put on the ground. This leads back to the 8 Colonies that united under the Gadsden Flag with the 'Do not tread on me' rattle snake flag (a political cartoon drawn by Benjamin Franklin in 1751), the present 13 red and white stripes representing the 13 colonies, and the words "Don't Tread On Me". The Gadsden flag was flown in 1775 by the 1st Marines during the start of the Revolutionary War by the Marine Committee lead by Continental Colonel Christopher Gadsden representing his home state South Carolina. Pride is to be held high for everyone to see, not put on the ground to be walked on.This is all true.It's worth noting that in the British army touching the flag to the ground was a way of saluting the king. Not something a patriot would ever do with the US flag.It's considered disrespectful for the American flag to touch the ground.
