I had a normal 50 state american flag that I flew frequently and observed all flag etiquette.
That flag was a flag given to me by My GF's Dad before he passed away. It meant a lot. His only Grandson just purchased a house in Edmonds. Its his first house so I rehomed Grandpa Bobs flag to his Grandson. Seemed only appropriate that he should have his Grandfathers flag. Right? So to get to the question. I'm a George Carlin non-conformist. Is there any reason I can't fly an earlier flag? Like B. Ross's 13 star? Or God forbid the Grand Union? What say the masses....I don't know if there's a unwritten rule? _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

That will rile the people that dont know their history.....  Probably be accused of flying a White Privilege flag. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

Quote: In fact, during the bicentennial of the War of 1812, the years 2012 - 2015, many governors are asking citizens to fly the official 15-star, 15-stripe Star-Spangled Banner Flag, which is the Flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland during this war and inspired Francis Scott Key to write our national anthem.

I guess my question is, why wouldn't you want to fly the current version of the flag? Just asking. As mislabeled said, though, any version is fine.
I fly two flags, at equal height--the current flag of the U.S., and the current flag of Canada. I also have two garden flag versions, and a third flag--the Thin Blue Line flag--also a garden flag, on a separate stand. _________________ "The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams "If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." ~Tenzin Gyatso, aka His Holiness the Dalai Lama "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves." ~ Romans 15:1 "Ils Ont Les Armes, On Les Emmerde, On A Le Champagne!"~Charlie Hebdo, November 2015 |

Years ago I took the Non Conformist Oath. I want different and if its ok then Ill fly different. I really think the Fort McHenry 15/15 is the best choice for me. It says more ...and could be a learning tool for other folk that ask why it looks different. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.
