I had to look up the meaning. Apparently together they spell out Navy Memorial. Singularly the yellow with black ball could mean “I have not a clean bill of health.” Or on a beach to use only soft surfboards.
Chris – I counted the Welcome “flag” from 1/8, but please note rule update I made last week to more narrowly define “real” flags. Real size flag on a traditional pole (vertical in ground or diagonal on a building). Others will count at my discretion. Flags seem easy enough to find, that this shouldn’t be an issue.
I was going to save the American flag for a day when I passed absolutely no other flags. However, this flag hanging in Fairfax County Firehouse #4 in Herndon was too good to pass up.
