Dollar Store sells American flag with 61 stars

The national flag of the United States of America (the American flag) consists of fifty stars on the flag which represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British monarchy and became the first states in the Union. But in Dollar Tree store in Dallas who sells American flag with 61 stars. It is noticed by Tim Childress.
Once Tim Childress thought he was being patriotic when he went to buy an American flag at his local Dollar Tree store in Dallas. But he soon discovered that his purchase was a cheap swindler of Old Glory that was adorned with a not-so authentic 61 stars.
Childress noticed the strange crooked pattern containing 11 extra stars when he returned home from the store, local television station WFAA-TV reported. The extra stars disobey the standard set by President Eisenhower that requires the American flag should consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton (referred to specifically as the “union”) bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The plastic flag was made in China and marketed by a Virginia company, the television station reported.
Tim returned to the Dollar Tree store and explained that there should only be 50 stars to represent each state. “They need to correct this or at least get the Chinese supplier to correct this,” Childress said to WFAA-TV. The Dallas Dollar Tree assistant store manager did not want to comment in front of the camera when the local television station arrived at the location. Off-camera, the manager for the Dollar Tree store said that the flag is just a ‘patriotic banner,’ not an American flag.
Later than the report was broadcasted on Sunday night, Dollar Tree told WFAA-TV that all of the 61 star flags had been destroyed. Wallet Pop reached out to Dollar Tree, but did not receive a response by press time.

Hey! Someone stole all of the instant updates! "I was thinking" about shaving my pussy.
I wonder if anyone would like to see a picture of that?
"I was thinking" I want a bunch of you to go over to see proud2bditzy, and just tell her "HI!"
She wants some comments for something, so go make her happy but don't rat me out, and tell her that I asked any of you to do that.

I'll stop burning American flags when laws are passed that force all American flags to be made IN America by unionized workers.
1. Grand Entry on Thursday. The first two gentlemen carry the Eagle Staff's. One of them at all times is the Winnebago NE's Legion or VA's staff and the other one each day is a visiting organization staff.
2. This picture is of the various pow wow princesses from other tribes and last year's Ho Chunk princess. One of these girls came clear up from NM! Now contrary to popular beilf. Tribes do NOT have Indian Princesses. They have Chef daughters and most Chefs are not chosen from family but the best warrior. This is a white man thing. The Pow Wow Princesses represent not only their respective tribe but their communities! The Ponca Tribe had 2 Princesses. One for the tribe and one for the Warrior Society. The Ho Chunk Tribe of NE had 2 also. One Sr (16 and up) and one Jr (16 and below). Don't ask me which Ponca tribe it could have been the OK one or the NE one. They didn't say!
3. Color Guard! I should have had it underneith Grand Entry! The various military flags are represented. The Ho Chunk Tribe of NE was the first Tribe in the US to have a Congressional OK for their Pow Wow. This is called the Homecoming Pow Wow to Honor the last Chef of the Ho Chunk tribe (of NE) Cheif Little Priest. Little Priest and many of the Ho Chunk warriors served Fort Omaha Scouts and they held a pow wow with the gov'ts okay (at the time no large gathering of indians could happen with out gov't okay) to welcome their warriors home! Today this Homecoming Pow Wow of the Ho Chunk Tribe still happens and all Warriors from all walks of life are honored through out the celebration. They have a song for each of the Military Branches and all Veterans and Family of Veterans and those serving are welcome to dance. My children and I danced in all of the Military songs but the Coast Guards! That is the only branch we have no family in or served in. They even have a Mother's of Warriors dance for all the mothers and grandmothers! A few of my friends from highschool signing in some of the drum groups went and talked to the head of pow wow commetee and suggested they have a drum group compose a Spouse of Warriors song because of how many of my age group that were there have spouses that served. I was the only one from my class (from my town) that paid honor to my family; my friends from Bago danced along side of me.
4. The first gentleman in this pictures is called the Head Man dancer. He helps in the areana while the men are dancing. He leads all the men and boys in during Grand Entry and during retreat leads them out. The men behind him are the Golden Age Dancers (Men over 50)
5. This Golden Age Dancer is a Fancy Dancer. These are the most watched men's dancers out there so for this guy to be dancing in his 50s or 60s this fast of paced is something else. And let me tell you, this gentleman can keep up with the Men's if he wanted too! He was my favorite out of the Golden Age men! Scared me a bit on Friday evening, he staggared a bit during a Special. But he was okay and kept right on dancing after his granddaughter ran him out some water!
6. I play softball with this gentleman and his wife! I know his wife but I can't for the world of me think of his name. He dances Grass Dancing. He won his Special and boy can he move! My girl Mikal has herself a handsome man! All my friends in the drum groups next to us were laughing their asses off because I said: "Boy, now I know why Indian families can get so large! If I had a man who could move his hips like some of these men do I would want to bed him all the time!"
7. These guys are the Men's Fancy Dancers. These are the ones you want to watch! They go extermly fast to the beat of the drum, go down low, and usually end in splits! They are extermly fun to watch on a Sneak up dance! Sneak up dances are when they tell the story of sneaking up on either an enemy or game.
8. I don't know what these guys names are but they were our Pow Wow buddies for the weekend! They traveled up from one of the Southwest states. We sat next to them all weekend long. They are dressed in their tradational style and were the only ones to partake in what is called the Chicken Dance. Which I think (but don't quote me) a Southwestern dance. The dance tells the story of the prairee chicken mating. We helped the long haired guy's wife out giving them water because she had an injuried hand and they helped us out by keeping an eye on the kids! Which came in handy on Sunday when my girl Bree had to work and I had to help her ol man Arjan get the kids ready. They helped me get Trystan's roach on him tight! That is the thing on the top of their heads!
I think this is enough pictures for tonight. I have to a few more to post of the women and of the young boys. Not to mention of my neice and nephew! Hope you enjoyed these pictures
At church, a couple weekends ago, we had "World Sabbath" where we focus on missions around the world. There were flags from all the major countries lined up in front of the huge stained glass window that depticted a cross. My friend and I wrote a poem about it.
Flags of Peace
They rest there quietly
Peacefully side by side
As if through the decades
They've never known the cruelty of war
In a quiet line they stand
Bowed with colors furled
In unity before the cross
