Good post. We’ve got Old Glory flying of course, but I really need to get me a Gadsden flag.

I’ve got a Gadsden (yellow one) and I also fly the civilian US flag (blue stars on white field, red and white vertical bars).

There were two US flags, one to signify military jurisdiction/law and one for civil jurisdiction/law. After the civil war, the civilian flag was seen less and less as so many places were under emergency powers ofthe military. But in certain books (Mark Twain, a couple others) make mention of the flag, some old photogrpah images show it.

You can purchase one still, there is a guy who has a flag company that makes them. Google “US civilian flag” and I believe you’ll find him.
