Iirc, the grand union flag was the first flag of the united colonies, flown by George Washington during the revolutionary war in 1776. The first versions of the stars and stripes weren't used until 1777 as far as I recollect.. To me, that you see both, the flag of the US Colonies and the one that is from the post revolution,of the USA, gives me hope. It's been quite a while though since I read about that stuff, so forgive me if I'm a bit off.
It gave me hope also. I was really excited when I saw the 1776 flag. Just noticed the grand union flag yesterday. I’m pretty knowledgeable with history but I do forget a lot of what I read. No forgiveness necessary. A few weeks ago took pics of that display but the wind was low & flags were not flying.
