Default The True Origin of the American Flag

A lot has been written about the origins of the American flag, but nobody has ever discovered the real story . . . until now! See the story here, complete with pictures:

Enjoy!

My favorite flag cartoon shows Ms. Ross at work on the flag, and a fellow bursts into her home and says "Bad news Betsy, Nova Scotia just dropped out!"

Default Re: The True Origin of the American Flag

lol, i like those too!! - i once saw a funny cartoon involving Betsy Ross and George Washington... Basically Betsy had sewn a flag instead of stars she had sewn words on it... the words read something like GO AWAY REDCOATS, and under it Washington said... 'I dont think thats quite appropriate Betsy!'
