I just learned (oh the wonder of the world wide web) that our US flag needs 64 pieces of fabric to make and that our flag has changed designs more than any other flag in the world. I don’t care to speculate what all that hints at. But still I am grateful for what the flag represents and the remarkable freedoms and opportunities this country provides. This nation has afforded my immigrant relatives a new start and me a secure life. Yes, I am grateful.Sunday, June 14, 2009
