OK I frequently admitted to being a poor student of history. I have never heard of the Appeal to Heaven Pinetree flag. So I looked it up it was interesting exit has been posting a series of historic articles primarily concerning the revolutionary war

To be honest I have seen the flag but really did not know of its history. When I read recently of the disdain the NYT had for it, I knew then, I had to have one.
