Very sorry but I just found out at snopes.com that this info is false. Usually I check before I post but didn't this time. Sorry

no worries, it was a post about the flag and as it turns out was a SPAM email that had circulated years ago regarding the folding and such

it was very creative yet not true

That's a cool story even if it's not completely factual. . .thanks for the link! :salute:

I think the original may hold a little more salt than thought.... While not official there is some merit to it. At least according to the American Legion........

Symbols for the folds of the Flag (http://www.legion.org/?section=our_flag&subsection=flag_folding&content=flag_symbols)

If its good enough for them, its good enough for me.

I emailed the American Legion link to snopes.com, there reply was "the meaning of the 13 folds itsn't true..but that some people now have adopted it and use it".......then wouldn't that make it true?! Just my .02

I agree my friend. Although unofficial it is carried on in ceremony. To me this makes it true. This great Nation was founded on a Judeo Christian foundation. We MUST NOT forget this. “In God We Trust”. “One Nation Under God.”

Let us not forget the roots, the foundation of this country. God is at our core. He has made us free and strong. Satan in his many forms, aclu, islam, extreme leftism are attempting to destroy us by guile and deception. We must see this and act to preserve what was begun over 200 years ago.

Respect to God, Family, and Country…. In that order
