I thought those flags were made out of foil. Why would we use nylon??? Now the French can claim they were first to land a man on the Moon! j/k

Considering what is happening to America today, there is a certain poignant symbolism to this...

[Bon mots]

We surrendered to the moon?

Fitting that we found out when Obunhole was pResident.

They were normal cloth held upright by aluminum wires. It’s our equipment left behind that will prove we landed there first and not the French.

White American flags.
Jackson and Sharpton soon to claim this as further proof of racism in America.

Somewhere Al Sharpton is howling at the moon.

At least the structure of the flags should still be evident. The stripes should be sewn together, and the stars would have been embroidered. As long as they aren’t disintegrating, they should still be recognizable even without the color.

[Gaffer]

It is ironic to me. Obama has surrendered nearly every freedom we have to socialist fascist ideology and we get this story where Old Glory on the Moon has turned to the white flag.

The original Apollo flags cost NASA $5.50 and made of nylon by Annin Flagmakers.

A galllon of gasoline cost $0.35 in 1969 -- but with gov't bidding processes it's something of a surprise that they didn't cost $550,000.00 each even back then.

White American flags? On the moon?

That’s rayciss!

We should get our money back.

The only thing that really matters is that the names of all four brave men who made the first trip are remembered and embossed onto a material that will stand the test of time and give credit to those who really deserve it.

If they are made of nylon, what keeps it "waving" on the windless moon?

[Slyfox]

The old Red, White and Blue turning white seems very symbolic given that Obama has emasculated NASA.

[Professional Engineer]

Good morning ladies and gents. Flag-o-Ping.

I thought those flags were made out of foil. Why would we use nylon??

Because they were bought at the local department store.

Read all about it! See post #4.
The FReeper Foxhole Celebrates Flag Day - June 14th, 2004

[N. Theknow]

Oh great! Now we have green cheese eating surrender monkeys.

[puppypusher]

My flag is flown every day and after nine months you can see how bleached out the colors are when compared to a brand new flag.

It’s amazing to see what the suns rays can do to a flag.Those Anin Flags are really well made though and they will last much longer than the company claims.

[equaviator]

What are we supposed to think of this, that there is a “special symbolism” that could be construed as a negative?

It IS what it is and that’s ALL it is!
