There is an old barracks in Trenton, New Jersey that is now a museum. The following is from the NJ museum ListServ, and I thought it might be of interest:

Hi folks,
Having heard the awful news about the bombings in London early this morning, the day campers at the Old Barracks' Fife and Drum camp raised the colonial "Red Ensign" (red flag with the pre-1800 Union Jack in the canton that flew over all British colonial outposts in the 18th C.) on the Barracks' flagstaff and played "God Save the Queen" at 9 AM.

At this afternoon's "Trooping of the Colours" ceremony (which they've done every afternoon this week), they will troop the reproduction of the King's Colour of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regt. of Foot (a gift of Queen Elizabeth on the completion of the Officer's House restoration in 1993) who wintered at the Barracks in Trenton in 1759-60.

Sadly,
Rich Patterson, Exec. Dir.
Old Barracks Museum - Trenton, NJ

Sounds like a good plan. Perhaps here and there we will see a shortage on British Flags as developed after 911 here a shortage of USA flags. I better get active quickly to secure one!
