I love this
This is apparently one of the earliest uses ever of "USA." It's just a simple, little pin that Continental Army soldiers wore around 1777. But, boy, just imagine what a paradigm-shifting moment that was, the first time guys from Virginia and guys from Massachusetts both put on a pin that said, "USA." I also love the understatedness of this pin. No garish heraldy. No swooping eagles. No red, white, and blue. No Latin mottos. Just a simple "U," "S,", and "A."
