Fellow Rotarian Ken Bailey displayed and discussed his collection of American Flags on Tuesday. He noted that in the early days of our country, each region had it's own flag.
Many of the early flags incorporated the likeness of a snake into them. However, eventually the banners became somewhat standardized.
Those he discussed and showed the club members included the Grand Union Flag, Bennington Flag, Betsy Ross Flag, Star Spangled Banner Flag, Great Star Flag, Texas Flag, 26 Star Flag, 31 Star Flag, Grand Medallion Flag, and the Stars and Bars (Confederate Flag.)
Also there were flags bearing the following number of stars: 35, 36, 37, 38, 45, 46, 48, 49 and 50. Ken owns additional flags which are displayed at his residence. A great program!
