Your flag is as distinctive and easily recognizable as the US flag. <br />My most memorable moment with respect to our US flag was once many years ago and my husband was on a working assignment on the base at Pearl Harbor. We happened to arrive early morning just before they raised the flag. Everyone stopped, removed their hats, saluted and reveille was played. I never felt prouder.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-9556578642266604722015-02-17T12:31:59.938-07:002015-02-17T12:31:59.938-07:00I think there are occasions where some pomp and ce...I think there are occasions where some pomp and ceremony is appropriate and a new national flag is, in my mind, one of them.
