About That Famous "Star-Spangled" Flag-- Part 1: And a Quiz on Your U.S. Flag Knowledge


From the June 13, 2018, Fayetteville (NC) Observer "This scrap of flay inspired the 'Star-Spangled Banner'"

The Airborne & Special Operations Museum at Fort Bragg, located by Fayetteville has a very special fragment of a flag in its "Grand Old Flag" exhibit. It is a small scrap of the famous flag that flew over Fort McHenry and inspired Francis Scott Key to write what today is the "Star-Spangled Banner," our National Anthem.

This article also included a quiz "How much do you know about the American flag?"  It consists of 12 questions, some easy, others really hard.  I got nine correct, even though I had lucky guesses on some of them.  They will even rate you.  I rated "Real Patriot."  Not to brag, BUT....

Type in the name of the article and pick the one by the Fayetteville Observer in your search.
