Hello to all you flag geeks like me.

I've been interested in Flags for about 10 years now, I'm mostly interested in the Revolutionary War Flags and their history.
Glad I found this site.
I fly a Betsy Ross and a "Don't Tread On Me" flag in my front yard on one flag pole and a "Join or Die" Flag in my side yard on a pole above my flower garden.
I'm in North Carolina.

Welcome, 13Stars. If you're looking for fellow "flag geeks", you're in the right place!

Just in case you're not familiar with it, the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) is an organization of flag scholars, enthusiasts, etc. Nick (NAVA1974) and I are both former presidents of NAVA, and we have a number of other members here in the forum. The web site is NAVA - Home. NAVA has a quarterly magazine, an annual journal and an annual convention. If you'd like more info, shoot me a private message.

You might interested in a couple of articles that I've written for "Raven" (the annual journal) about Revolutionary War era flags. One of them is available online here: http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Informati...f_pp77-100.pdf

Best regards,

All,

I've deleted Stuart from the list per his request, but I'd like to hear from other members -- do you find the site confusing? If so, do you have any thoughts on how we might fix that? The forum software is what it is, but there are a lot of things that we can do within its framework -- reorganizing the categories, provide more front matter on the main page, etc. Any thoughts?
