More likely, you would be laughed out of the place. Modifying the U.S. Customs Service Flag by placing stars in the canton in lieu of the U.S. Coat of Arms does not a legal flag make. Moreover, the nonsense story that you include with it is even more laughable. Don’t drink to excess on this wonderful day.

There is a Culpeper Flag on the wall behind me, and on the wall I’m facing, there us a 4x6’ US Flag that was flown over the Capitol.

A cool company, for anyone who's interested:

"Pursuant to U.S.C. Chapter 1, 2, and 3; Executive Order No. 10834, August 21, 1959, 24 F.R. 6865, a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE, bordered on three sides. The President of the United states designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the Armed forces." Every courtroom in the United States uses a gold fringed flag. Are you denying that our courts are under Admiralty Law?

I offered sources. They are solid. You didn't; instead playing the usual game of epithet. Read the sources and then refute the sources. That's how it's done here.

Beautiful, it is, my love!

A better source can be found here:

The source that you cite, applies ONLY to the military, as it was issued by the President in his role as Commander in Chief. It does not apply to the Judicial Branch, you would need to find another source for that.

I don’t care to argue with someone who does not know what he is talking about and is clearly an adherent of some crazy conspiracy theory, so I bid you a very happy July 4th.

Thank you for this. I plan to print them out and display them on my office walls.

Thanks for later review

My paternal ancestors came from Switzerland. Landed in Philadelphia on November 9, 1750. Came to York Township, York County, PA where Hans Sigrist received warrent rights to 50 acres of land. Around 1805 his when his name was entered into land records by the Recorder of Deeds his name was “English-ized” to “John Sechrist”. And the rest is history, as they say.

....received warrent rights to 50 acres of land....from the Penns.

BTW, I still think that is the most beautiful version of the Stars and Stripes.

I'm flying the Betsy Ross flag today. I think it's the most appropriate version for Independence Day and wish more people would display it.

Thanks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one before.

[Professional Engineer]
