June 2, 2017 - ALA Paint Post 48 Office & Store Room |
Everything moved out of the office
Well, almost everything
ALA members Margaret Ecklund, Sandra Codespoti, & Faith Shenstrom
I would bet these walls haven't had any new paint in 30 years
The store room, not even finished, looks 1000% better
Many "Thank You"s to ALA President Paula Goulet and all other Ladies Auxiliary
members
who participated in this work. We do appreciate it.
The
Cowpens Flag
The Cowpens flag, or 3rd Maryland Regiment flag, is an early version of the
United States flag that meets the congressional requirements of the Flag
Resolution of 1777. Like the Betsy Ross flag, the white stars are arranged in a
circle on a blue field; but the circle consists of just 12 stars, with the 13th
star in the center.
This version of the US flag was said to have been carried by William Batchelor
of the 3rd Maryland Regiment at the Battle of Cowpens, January 17, 1781, and
this arrangement of stars has come to be known as the "3rd Maryland design." The
Batchelor family donated their original flag, known as the Batchelor Flag, to
the 'Society of the War of 1812' in 1894.
