Stars and Stripes --- I'm Not Old


The other day when I went to Command Cell I saw that the American flag was not flying. Turns out the lanyard had broken so they had to take it down.* ^^ Two soldiers were folding the flag when I walked in, but it was taking them a really long time. They told me there’s a special way the flag needs to be folded. “I know that!” I responded. “I learned how to fold the flag when I was in Brownies. However, when I learned to fold the flag,” (this is the absolute truth) “it had only 48 stars.”

*A few minutes later they raised a new flag on a different pole.
^^ Flags flying are American, Kuwaiti and Wyoming. Base Command is from Wyoming.
