American Flag
What do you think of Obama Barak refusing to wear an American flag pin on his lapel?
He says it's because he believes patriotism should be shown from the heart, not on the outside. I feel that in doing this, he is suggesting that the American flag is not a sign of patriotism and he is trying to win the minority vote. It upsets me to think he is suggesting such a thing as my ancestors fought and lost their lives in a war against England so that the Stars and Stripes can fly over this country to assert our freedom. I feel that the American flag is very important to our country. Every country in this world has its own flag and it should be a source of pride. We should be proud to wear it and let everyone know that we love our country!
I proudly wear my cheap piece of jewwlry resembling a flag because I have pride in my country and the people who have died defending it! Why don't we all just lay down and let the idiots rule this country and to hell with what the people who founded this country wanted it to be!
It reminds me of the people who refuse to stand for the pledge of allegiance. They are anti patriotic and have their own agenda.

American Flags During the Revolution
The recent HBO mini-series John Adams depicts many historical American flags that were used during the Revolutionary War period.
These flags were early versions of the national flag and some were used by regiments during the war. For instance, in the opening credits one of the flags shown is the Culpepper flag.
This flag represented a group of about one hundred minutemen from Culpepper, Virginia. The group formed part of Colonel Patrick Henry's First Virginia Regiment of 1775. In October-November 1775 three hundred such minutemen, led by Colonel Stevens, assembled at Culpepper Court House and marched for Williamsburg.
Their unusual dress alarmed the people as they marched through the country. The word "LIBERTY OR DEATH" were in Large White letters on the breast of their hunting shirts. They had bucks' tails in their hats and in their belts, tomahawks and scalping knives.
Another flag that is used during the show is the Grand Union flag. This flag was never offically adopted by the Continental Congress but it is widely recongnized as the first flag of the United States
This flag was an alteration of the British Meteor flag. In its blue canton was the red cross of ST. George and the white cross of ST. Andrew. The thirteen stripes signified the original colonies.
The Washington Cruisers flag is also another flag shown in the opening credits of the miniseries.
This flag was used by George Washington on his squadron of six schooners which he outfitted at his own expense in the fall of 1775. This flag was a variation of the New England Pine Tree flag. It was later modified and adopted by the Massachusetts Navy.
The Sons of Liberty would rally under a large tree, in Boston Massachusetts, which came to be known as "The Liberty Tree". This tree became a symbol of American independence. Knowing they were up against a great military power they believed they were sustained by still a greater power, thus their "APPEAL TO HEAVEN".
