I love old pictures too. This is my Grandmother with her Grandfather on the 4th of July 1916. He was a Civil War veteran. Grandmother is wearing her school graduation dress that her mother made.

I have a flag with that star pattern, about 7x0 inches, possibly of silk. I found it folded into quarters inside an old “Family” Bible in an antique bookstore whan I was about 12. I framed it, and when I was 15 started marking off the days of the Tehran Hostage situation .

Memry is a wonderful thing...

What a great picture, and given the way things are today it is an awfully poignant picture too!
