The Stars & Stripes proudly flies over my home in Manheim Township, Lancaster, PA. |

PS - As I was about to post this story this morning, the morning newspaper was delivered to my home. As I opened it I found that the flag that I had posted a story about yesterday had been bid on and won by The Atlanta History Center for $196,800. It was the center's largest purchase for an artifact. Congratulations to the Center and for purchasing the only remaining flag that was hand painted by David Bustill Bowser, the son of a fugitive slave. Check out yesterday's story for more on this historical flag.
