Under 50, yes---but under 20---I doubt it. They can't even find the US on a globe. I'm a ham radio operator, and I have another ham friend locally that I talk with. He was there at the actual raising of that flag. He's currently 77 years old. He says that war back then was not a political thing--Both Liberals and Conservatives supported the war---not like today. We are all free today because of what happened years ago.
I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS---YOU SHOULD TOO !!!

Now that has to be the ultimate Corvette wave. There isn't too much more "Apple Pie American" than an American engineered and built car next to Old Glory. Save our flag.
Happy Independence Day. God bless our country and watch over our brave military and their families.
