Stars & Stripes Forever!! GA Flag Covers on Parade....

[GreatEscape]

In celebration of Memorial Day and to pay tribute to those who defend our country, I dedicate this thread to GA Flag covers!!

 

These images invoke the patriotism and inspiration of America's triumphs in war, faith in democracy, and unending commitment to liberty and justice for all.

 

From now until Memorial Day, I will be presenting my "Top 50" flag covers (one for each state!), but invite others who want to share their flag covers to post them as well.

 

God bless America!!!

Jeff, you probably have a nicer one of these - It is one of my favorite Nedors (but I really like Grim Reaper).

Not to derail GE's thread but when Jeff posted a gorgeous copy of this one - It made me think of my copy - check the label on mine and see why not to buy PGX - Startling Comics #50??
