MY FLAG IS HERE!

[Coexist]

So sorry for shouting but I've been dancing around my house, singing, "My flag is here, my flag is here, my flag is here, my flag is he-re!"

It came with a certificate verifying it was flown over the U.S. Capitol on January 20, 2009 for my children in honor of the Inauguration of Barack H. Obama. (Why H. instead of Hussein? I don't know???)

Woo hoo!

My flag is here!

Just had to share my joy!

2. Pics or it didn't happen!

(I trust that it did happen, but it is internets tradition to ask for pics)

4. Oh, ye of little faith

Those guys at the Capitol can run a flag up and bring it down in about a minute. They do it constantly. It's fun to watch them.

But, about the pics?

12. I don't blame you

I just made a gift of this to a really great friend, who is a Presidential memorabilia collector, and he's pretty tickled - gonna have it framed and give it to his five-year-old granddaughter who knew Obama was going to win "because they said so on TV."

5. I wonder if the people who make U.S. flags are doing a brisk business now.

I bet they are.

6. How much?

Just curious.

[Coexist]

10. $18.20

really!

14. Good deal.

I would have guessed $50. In 50 years, it may be worth more than JFK memorabilia.

8. Very cool and a K&R for your celebration thread! n/t
