Excellent, thanks.

I scrolled down your post until I found the Guilford Courthouse flag, which I flew today in honor of an ancestor who served in Greene's army. The flag always brings questions from folks who see it.

Let 'em come!

[Pharmboy]

LJ gave you a great sight.

May I also suggest individual historic-site gift shops for the harder-to-find.

For example, I found Gen. Washington's Camp Standard at the Mount Vernon Gift Shop and ordered by phone (it's always good to call...the flag I wanted was not offered at their web site but available to a call-in).

Modern Gadsen.

[Pharmboy]

We can call it "The Bracken."

[Travis McGee]

Actually doc Zox aka Gun-Fucious on The High Road (the successor to The Firing Line) created the M-16 Gadsen.

[Travis McGee]

PS: since 9-11 our Navy ships have been flying that Naval Jack striped Gadsen again.

They are also for sale in every Naval Exchange store.

[Pharmboy]

Then "The Doc Zox" it is; sounds cool.

[Pharmboy]

I did not know that (that our ships are flying The Jack again...) thanks.

[Travis McGee]

Yes, not only are our ships flying the "Navy Jack" Gadsden, but I have purchased a 3x5 for a very reasonable price at the local Navy Exchange.

[Pappy Smear]

The Fort Moultrie is flying in front of my house right now.

However I rotate it around with my Gadsen flag, my US flag, my Iowa flag, my Iowa State University Cyclones flag, my Marshall University Thundering Herd flag, and my Pittsburgh Steelers flag.

I hope I don't need to fly the Clones, the Herd, and the Stillers at half staff too many times this fall.
