1818 Congress decided US flag is 13 red & white stripes & 20 stars 
The 1818 Flag:Realizing that the addition of a new star and new stripe for each new State was impractical, Congress passed the Flag Act of 1818 which returned the flag design to 13 stripes and specified 20 stars for the 20 states.
This Flag became the Official United States Flag on April 13th, 1818. Five stars were added for the admission of Tennessee (the 16th State on June 1st, 1796), Ohio (the 17th State on March 1st, 1803), Louisiana (the 18th State on April 30th, 1812), Indiana (the 19th State on December 11th, 1816), and Mississippi (the 20th State on December 10, 1817), and was to last for just one year. The only President to serve under this flag was James Monroe (1817-1825).

Good afternoon! Just spent a lovely day at the Dallas Arboretum on a field trip with elf-boy's class.
It's a bit windy out, but it is absolutely gorgeous! I got some pictures, but the batteries ran out when we got to the out-of-doors part. I'll post them later today, when I get my errands done. Gotta go to the post office!

In one of his more successful and innovative pirating maneuvers, Uncle Drake successfully defeated the Spanish treasure galleon Cacafuego. Uncle Drake slowed the Golden Hind to make it seem like a lumbering, harmless merchantman. By the time the captain of the Cacafuego knew Uncle Drake had set a trap, it was too late. Uncle Drake seized 762,000 pesos (worth about US$27 million in 2004). It took the crew six days to transfer the treasure.

Evening Grace Folks~
If you think the U.S. Navy's activities off Korea were limited to offshore bombardment and carrier strikes, you don't know JACK!
Agreed . . . on both accounts.
Very informative read . . . what an elite group of tough men.
Sorry . . . I couldn't help it. ;^)

Don't recognize any of these people, so it must be someone that appears in the "end credits".
Who is it and do I get a consolation prize?
