What is the story behind Louisiana's flag? Surprisingly that is the first time I've ever seen it? Kool-ade or blood for the baby birds? lol
I like the Acadiana flag a lot
The Louisiana flag was originally depicting the mother pelican shedding her blood for her young as a symbol of CHristian charity. (I forgot about it earlier)
IT was only recently changed back in 2007 which would explain why I couldnt remember it. While I was growing up the blood had become lost and I just saw a bunch of lines where it was supposed to be.
I remember during the presidential campaign when then-Sen. Obama spoke in Toledo. Behind him were American flags and Ohio flags, and some people though the Ohio state flag was Obama's personal flag and claimed he modified the American flag and that this was the sign of a dictator and all kinds of foolishness. No matter if you voted for the guy or not, you've got to find a bit of humor, as well as silliness, in that.
I like Texas Flag the best.
Worst, Washington State
