vcczar Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I got let out of jury duty (fortunately) and stopped by the Museum of the American Revolution here in Philadelphia. I also went to the Samuel Powel house, which hosted about every founding father at one point or another. Anyway here’s some flags. I think @Patine and @ConservativeElector2 might like these: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Macy Gray's very recent idea of a new U.S. National flag is a bit odd-looking. Hadn't heard of that flag. I'm okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I like them indeed. There's a joke going on among my friends and family, which says that I like flags as much as Sheldon Cooper does. When I was about five years old I got an atlas which also contained all flags of the world, which I learned by heart like capitals at a very young age. A few years later I got a US state flag puzzle which helped me to learn these flags, although many are just dark blue with varying seals on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to join the International Vexillology Society, but keeping up with the membership dues, probably by credit card only, would be a bit onerus. Yeah, I feel you. If vexillology were a college subject, I'd like to become a professor for it. I remember creating my own national flags with paint early on. Definitely fun times!

You better post a collection of those somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConservativeElector2 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I guess these people are McKinley/Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan and a running mate I can't identify without looking him up. Maybe Adlai Stevenson I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
