Many people incorrectly fold the flag of the United States of America. After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of those who served under General George Washington and Captain John Paul Jones, and anyone of the Armed Forces of the United States who secure our rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today.

George Washington Named Britain’s Greatest Ever Foe
George Washington has been named as the greatest foe ever faced by the British.
The American was voted the winner in a contest run by the National Army Museum to identify the country’s most outstanding military opponent.
He was one of a shortlist of five leaders who topped a public poll and on Saturday was selected as the ultimate winner by an audience of around 70 guests at a special event at the museum, in Chelsea, west London.
In second place was Michael Collins, the Irish leader, ahead of Napoleon Bonaparte, Erwin Rommel and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
At the event, each contender had their case made by a historian giving a 40 minute presentation. The audience, who had paid to attend the day, then voted in a secret ballot after all five presentations had been made.Dr Stephen Brumwell, who had championed Washington, said: “As British officers conceded, he was a worthy opponent.”
