Another challenging one. I was going to the National Museum of Health and Medicine for the scavenger hunt. And the guide to their collections indicated that they had a variety of historical flags, which I thought might be a nice change from all the current ones.
Except when I got there, the desk staff looked mystified when I asked about flags. When I showed them the guide, they said they had millions of artifacts, only a small portion of which were on display–and the ones on display did not include flags.
Discouraged, I figured I might have to use one of the flags near my house that I’m keeping in reserve for emergencies. (Okay, so “flag emergency” may not be a term in common use, but you know what I mean!) And then I caught a glimpse of a flag in Walter Reed Forest Glen Annex.
The only problem was that Forest Glen Annex is as locked up as one would expect of an army installation. And the flag was in a position where it was hard to get a good enough view of it that I’d be able to identify it. So of course, lacking common sense, I started walking all around peering through the iron gate, hoping to find a good angle and hoping security wouldn’t find me. The good news is, I finally found one! It’s the Fisher House flag.
2/9/24 There wasn’t much wind today – which I like! But I couldn’t tell what this was a flag of. My husband thinks it’s some kinda university flag
