It may be easier to fold the flag without evening up the edges, but it's not the proper way to do it. Other than that, it's a good video, and I like your flag collection.
When the flag is draped over a casket, it is positioned so the stars in the top left are over the left shoulder of the deceased- making the flag the right way round.
From there two people grab each end of the flag, and the striped side is brought over the stars, then it is brought over again so that the stars reappear on both sides of the flag.
well that particular 48 star flag - i had sent over from the USA. I have several 48 star flags - some from the UK and some from the USA. i have a rare 48 star flag too - where the stars are still arranged in 6 rows of 8, but the stars are not all orientated the same direction- that one is from 1912 and ive got it hung on the wall in my bedroom!. i have a large collection of US flags
Ooh, that 1912 flag sounds cool. It was only a few months between the ratification of the 48th state and the first federal mandate about flag design, so that must be rare indeed. I've always had a mild interest in flags in general. I can spend hours at the Flags of the World site! But I also have a huge interest in music (and by association, other things) from the early 20th century, so that's why that 1912 flag sounds very cool to me!
oh nice keeper... - its nice to chat to somebody who actaully does possess some knowledge on the flag! most people dont seem to have any time to research them... ive spent a good amount of time on the FOTW site aswell!
I think it started because when I was a child, one of my favourite games was a memory-match game that had national flags as the things you had to match. Imagine that -- a game that is fun AND educational, AND an aid to memory development. Such a concept seems alien in today's world!
honest to god wit bush as our presedent that flag means nothing to our contry if there wasent troops in iraq id say fuck it but my 2 cuzs and my grandpa was in it so i souport it but i still say fuck bush
you can say what you want about the President, but do not ever insult the flag this country. That flag sybolises the blood of the men and women that have died to give you the right to pretty much whatever you want. That flag means everything, no matter who the Commander-in-Chief is. Do not insult that flag.
The practice of folding the US flag in this manner dates from the First World War,nobody seems to know exactly where the practice originated,but it was at a time when patroitism in the USA ran high, and of course, the first time that the US & the UK fought on the same side.
that was great, thanks. I am wondering, you have the union jack also, do you mind explaining the proper way of folding the flag? I never really paid attention to it, but, a friend of mine is taking me to a football match later this month and I am taking the flag with me this time, so, just let me know, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
i do have Union jacks yeah but what you see in that video is my pillow case and bed covers in Britain here - we have no fag code and no regulations on how to fold our union jack- just fold it neatly maybe so the attachments ofr the flagpole flace out so i can be easily attached
ahh, it was still perfect by meaning the first song was done by time you got done folding flag, and same for larger flag, if was done with webcam, u can adjust the time of recording in the software that came with it

you are supposed to tuck in the fly edge, but before, make that one trangle fold. and then tuck it in.

That second flag was a 48-star version. Does it perhaps date from WWII, that being how it ended up in Britain?
