FRIDAY SURPRISE: Flagged for inspection.

Friday, July 24, 2009 Filed in: Friday Surprise!, History, Things I like, Completely irrelevant

I'm no vexillologist, nor do I play one on TV. I am, however, fascinated by historical flags. The synthesis of design, color, and history make them irresistible (to me, at least.)

Take the flags of the American Revolution, for example. Everyone knows the Gadsen flag:

Far fewer are familiar with the Fort Moultrie flag:

Only serious history buffs, however, will recognize the flag of the First Continental Regiment:

See more flags of the American Revolution.
