Who made the veterans Exempt flag?

The Veteran Exempts, commanded by a Captain Woolsy, was a local New York militia company composed of socially prominent and politically powerful citizens of Plattsburg who were undoubtedly motivated by a feeling of patriotism. Like the Home Guard in Britain during the Second World War, they did provide a valuable reserve in a time of crisis.

The Veteran Exempts flag was used at the Battle of Plattsburgh, in upper New York, in 1814. The Battle, also known as the Battle of Lake Champlain, ended the final British invasion attempt of the northern United States during the War of 1812. Fought shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the American victory denied the British leverage to demand exclusive control over the Great Lakes and any territorial gains against the New England states. Little information is available on the activities of the Veterans Exempts for the remainder of the War of 1812.

The Veterans Exempt flag was described as "having a black background with 13 stars for the Union of White wrought in silver. That in the center of the flag there be a Death's Head, with cross bones under these an open wreath, with this motto, 'THY WILL BE DONE.' Over the Death's Head, surmounted as a crest, a Rattle-Snake with Thirteen Rattles, coiled, ready to strike, with this motto in a similar wreath inverted over it, 'DON'T TREAD ON ME.'"

What does olimpic mean?

Good question, which I fear I can't answer. The Olympic Games are related to the town of Olympia and several mountains called Olympus or Olympos, which are all very prominent in their region. It is tempting to say the name must mean "Home of the Gods" or something similar (and that may well be true), but there is no modern Greek, English or other word like Olym or Pus which means Home or Gods. The Pous/Pus/Pos bit resembles words involving feet, or base, such as tripod or platypus, and the nearest Oli/Oly equivalent would seems to be the Olive tree. A wild speculation might be that the first Mount Olympus, wherever it was, arose from an area particularly rich in olives, and its name was not directly connected to its height or majesty. The connection between the name Olympus and the function Home of the Gods would be a coincidental association, but which later became the normal term for the abode of deities.
