"The Hebrew tribe of Dan adopted the symbols of a dragon and a snake and emblazoned them on their red and white flag together with the crest of an eagle. The carvings of snakes and dragons on their ships, the red and white stripes on their sails and archeological relics reveal that the tribe of Dan became the dreaded Vikings."

Does the U.S. flag take part of its inspiration from the Tribe of Dan?
