But seriously, using this flag is like a massive insult to everyone in Northern Ireland, you've left them out of Britain!

There's a US flag in the queue you uber-patriot.

 HEY WHERE'S THE US FLAG. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. Wait, what's that? It never costed me any money? DAMN YOU SCALPERS!

Geez, look at Mr. flag expert.  I wish I knew something about the USA flag history beyond the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. Hard to keep track of all the state additions -- bright idea adding one for every state. 

All this flag talk reminds me of a classic Simpsons moment...

MARGE: There are only 49 stars on that flag.
ABE: I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!

Looks good, but that version of the Union flag is no longer in use... we stopped using it 204 years ago. The modern day version has St. Patricks red saltire cross (the diagonal one) to represent Ireland. Also, the blue base is almost always navy blue.

These mini flags are great.  This might be something we could incorporate for members if you were interested.
