Reminds me of the reported vision of George Washington

https://americaslastdays.blogspot.com/p/george-washington-vision-american.html
***********************
Fortunately the ending is good:

“Then once more, I beheld the villages, towns and cities SPRINGING UP where I had seen them before, while the BRIGHT ANGEL, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: ‘While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, SO LONG SHALL THE UNION LAST.’ And taking from his brow the CROWN on which blazoned the word ‘Union,’ he placed it upon the standard while the people KNEELING DOWN said, ‘Amen.’

The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who in the same voice I had heard before, said, ‘Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted. THREE GREAT PERILS will come upon the Republic. THE MOST FEARFUL FOR HER IS THE THIRD. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic LEARN TO LIVE FOR HIS GOD, his land and Union.’ With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and the destiny of the United States.”

Just one question: What is "The azure standard"?

When I read that, I immediately thought of this

Please tell me I am wrong and explain why.
