Got a spare $100,000? You could own one of the most historic flags in US History which is going under the gavel next week: the flag that flew over the U. S. Naval Headquarters at Pearl Harbor as the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941.

I have one that looks exactly like that, dad was coming back into Pearl from Korea and the captain came up about 6am and told dad to go get a new flag to put up, dad said he would take this old one to the infirmary and was told to take it and show his grand kids (2 sailors had died during skirmishes) - he took it to the reunions all during the 90s USS Ulvert Moore

I was thinking it belongs at Pearl, in the museum there.
