Indeed, this veteran flys the Federal Standard every good day. But, only a few of the passer bys on the sidewalk notice that its a copy of the Standard of 1860{thats the earliest date-so far- I can prove of the age of my house- if I can get it back to 1815, I'll buy a new Standard!}
Historical Note; All National banners were termed Standard{s}. A "flag" is what is now called a cat-o-nine tails weed. I do not know when the term changed and evolved
Always proud to fly my Stars and Stripes. Been doing it for decades, through good times and bad.
