You may be totally correct. The Stars and Bar is a symbol of our heritage. Everyone reads it differently. However, it is not the Flag for the State of Georgia today.

the STARS & BARS is the NEW flag of GA. it is VERY SIMILAR to the battleflag designed FIRST for GA troops in 1861 by William Porcher Miles. 5 feet away, you cannot tell his flag &n the one designed by the PC-GA legislature apart.

the REAL Georgia FLAG (post 1956) is the Confederate BATTLEFLAG design, which was ALSO designed by William Porcher Miles in 1861 & was carried HONORABLY into battle by GA troops.

of course, the average legislator is TOO IGNORANT of their state's history to know such a TRUTH.

Actually, you are incorrect. The current Georgia State flag is the "Stars and Bars", a/k/a "the First National Flag", with the Ga. State Seal encircled in thirteen Stars. The '56 Georgia flag incorporated the "Battle Flag", or "Southern Cross", not the "Stars and Bars".
