The Flag

I display this one on occasion. First one to identify it and its history wins...bragging rights.

Dave_n, just to drift a wee bit...I use my buckeye, hillbilly and English accents as hats....I don them when I need them. They all serve me well.

Bob's your uncle and Fannie's your aunt.

Cheers

And then there's this report on the "Confederate Flag" which offended someone.

‘Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying’ in Seattle’s Greenwood area – well, not quite | The Seattle Times

Ya can't make this stuff up.

Stupidly can't be repaired.

Green Mountain Boys, also known as the Stark flag.

Regimental Revolutionary War flag, still used by Vermont National Guard.

Okay guys, y'all showing off those historic flags shows me that I know nothing... need to buy another history book now.

Flags are what they are.

I once swore to defend this one. At the peril of my llfe.

I still feel obliged to what I swore more than 40 years ago. And I still get some dust in my eyes when I see it being hoisted. Go figure.

For eight years I flew the American flag only on special days - now it flies every day alongside the Texas and POW flags. They are under light, so they come down only in bad weather. I have a confederate flag, but it hangs on a wall in my reloading room. I get all mine at the VFW, so naturally they're USA made.
