I had that flag on my house for years and people kept mentioning Betsy Ross.
Alrighty then.
:D

“Nice” left the barn 30 years ago.
Reminds me that I've been meaning to acquire a high quality Betsy Ross flag. My wife bought me a printed one last year, but it's just not the same as a traditional embroidered flag.
This is probably the greatest truth.
In Maryland, Bawlmer is a lawless cesspool where gangs of thugs loot and riot for giggles, but they never venture beyond their asphalt jungle.
*Maybe*, someday, they’d creep out into the closest suburbs but I can bet money they will never come out here to The Wastelands.
Every hick here is armed and we still have the Celtic mentality of hiding in the mountains and ridges and simply picking outlanders off.
When the Beltway snipers were headed this way, *everyone* was looking and waiting for them.
There was a collective groan of frustrated disappointment when they didn’t make it past South Mountain.
It’s genetic.
Too many on our side don't seem to understand that.
'Nice' can get you hurt in today's political climate. Remember what Kurt Schlicter said: "They want us dead."
Many years ago, I bought a hand sewn 4x6 cotton, double sided Confederate flag with every star and stripe separately applied.
I can’t hang it outdoors due to the nature of cotton so it hangs in the bedroom.
Wish I could remember the company name because they had exquisite stuff, including Betsy Ross flags.
I bought a Betsy Ross like that for my dad about fifteen years ago. He never would fly it, preferring to fly a cheap Costco fifty star flag out on the front porch.
When he passed last year it was the only thing in the house I wanted (besides my grandad's pistol). The house was so cluttered, I didn't even try to find it. I'm sure my half sister (big lib) wound up giving it to the local thrift store.
That pains my heart.
:(
Wow, they only want $25 for that flag. Wonder why so cheap?
This will be a war to either support or discard the Constitution. Not geographical, except based on density of political choice.
I took an oath, some time back, promising to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Guess which party wants to destroy the constitution?
I consider the probability to be past 90%, unless it dawns on the Stupids that they are going up against the most heavily armed and trained civilian population in human history.
I do not believe they are that bright.
Well, she doesn't recognize the value in iconic Americana like I do, so...
Dad left her the house, and I only had a couple hours one evening to go through stuff before she took possession. I just felt weird about picking through his things, so I left it all.
One of my other sisters did manage to retrieve a bunch of family photos and my grandad's pistol. I was happy for at least that much.
Beats me.
The 3x5 “antiqued” is not much more.

Still trying to find you the company that I used.
There are a *lot* more choices to root through than 20 years ago.
Don’t. Move...
There’s a big freaking snake crawling onto your shoulder!!
So sad.
When my beloved dad passed away, my mom immediately had an auction and virtually wiped every vestige of his existence from the house.
I hope he was blissfully unaware of what became of his huge gun collection, none of which I got hold of.
LOL
That’s Bob T. Boa.
