1178 - Flag day post

I did a post on the US flag awhile back. Post number 424. In that post I said title 4 of the US code decides what the US flag technically is. ... Well sort of. I've found out since then that .. TADAAAA ... each STATE decides what the US flag is. That's right, each state can design their own US flag. Title 4 just covers the federal agencies.

So where does that put my previous post? Well, in Missouri it's DEAD ON!!!!! Because, Missouri's state law just refers it's flag regulations back to TITLE 4! So when I got this from the USO .....


.... I thought wait a minute. 3x5? Let me check my old post. Hey this isn't an American flag. At least not in Missouri. There may some other state that has a 3x5 American flag but you would think the USO would stick with Title 4 flag sizes.

Flags are out. OK so they're little stick in the ground flags but at least I've got some out this year.

There's a local bank here that has an American flag that is freaking HUGE! Biggest one I've ever seen. They clearly love America more than everyone else.

P.S. It was probably made in China.

B - Did you go back and look at your comment on the old post. You've been around a looong time.

A - That's the good ol' US of A.

J - The biggest title 4 flag is 20 x 38 (that's feet). But I'm sure they can make them bigger in China.
