Come on Barb , you know as well as I do that "we" Americans have a near unhealthy obsession with our flag the 'Stars and Stripes' ,it's illegal to fly it at night unless its floodlit , it should never touch the ground etc.........many folks treat it with the same reverence as shown to the boxes of bones on display in many European cathedrals , I would be interested to know who the supplier was and if there were any ulterior motives
