As a result of the success of the Thing Blue Line flag, thin line style flags of all styles are quickly becoming popular. The striking black and white American flag with a thin colored line across it is a wonderful way to support the everyday heroes in our communities. But during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the thin lined flags mean a little bit more. Let's take a look at the history of the thin line line flags and what they mean during the holidays.

The Origin of Thin Blue Line

The origin of the thin blue line dates back to an 1854 battle during the Crimean War, in which a British infantry regiment, in red uniforms, stood its ground against a Russian cavalry charge. The British formation became known as the Thin Red Line. Since then the term has risen in popularity, in the 1950's it was used in speeches by police chief's and in the 1970s and ‘80s, the phrase was popularized in books and films like, “The Thin Blue Line,” which tells the story of a man’s trial and wrongful conviction in the killing of a police officer in Dallas. The flag itself emerged around 2014 as the Blue Lives Matter movement became more widespread and grew out of a series of instances across the nation in which police officers were killed in the line of duty.
