But I think there were 49-star flags made for a short time. And the stripes--whoa!

I don't know how the flag looked with, say, 49 stars, but fifty is a good, round number.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061067970781919577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-16170889182693981212014-12-23T09:21:23.968-05:002014-12-23T09:21:23.968-05:00I love our flag as-is.
