Sacramento.

The passing of the flag known as "Passing of Old Glory" is not part of the offical retirement ceremony in accordance with the NAVMC Drill and Cermony's Manual. However it can take place directly following the end of the offical ceremony.

It has 3 vertical bars: blue, yellow, red from left to right. In the center yellow panel there is the Andorran Coat of Arms with a bishop's hat in the upper left corner, alternating yellow and red bars in the upper right and lower left, and two cows in the lower right.

Yes, although the bi-color theme (three bars of red-white-red) has been in use since 1824. The Spanish colonial flag was followed in 1820 by a British independence version (navy blue). This was followed by several versions of a bicolor with red starburst, in both vertical and horizontal forms. Until 1950, the modern civil flag also bore the National Coat of Arms in the middle -- this remains on the so-called National Flag.

The correct answer is 'yes', but due to many military funerals and availability of the Honor Guard it may be overlooked at the presentation of the folded flag at the Veterans Funeral. In most cases it is the responsibility of the NCOIC to select 3 spent casings from the 3 volley's of fire at a Veteran's Funeral called Presentation of Honor of the Veteran, and he is responsible for overseeing on the left side of the folding of the flag remaining over the Veterans coffin or remains. The last fold is from the flap of the flag and then the 3 spent shell casings are placed into the last fold of the flag and the 1.25 inch part that is usually closest to the NCO that is where he puts the casings and seals the flag for the Chaplin to present the flag and share his blessings on the Family at the loss of their relative/friend or Loveone.

There is also a golden sun.

The 13 stars (arranged in a circle) represent the original 13 colonies.

The Confederate States of America (CSA) was formed of the southern states that seceded from the United States of America in 1860 and1861 at the onset of the Civil War. Originally there were 7 states then later 11 states in the Confederacy. The first CSA national flag had 7, 11, and then 13 stars in a circle. Two border states (Missouri and Kentucky) did not secede from the Union but had representatives on both the USA and CSA legislatures. That is why there were 13 stars on the first CSA flag. During the Civil War the CSA was not part of the USA, they were considered a separate nation. During the history of the Confederacy there were three different "official" flags of the CSA. After the defeat of the Confederate Army of Virginia and arrest of their President Jefferson Davis the southern states were returned to the United States of America.

The flag was taken from the insignia created in 1966 to distinguish the SMA rank.

The flag of the Sergeant Major of the Army incorporates a silver five-pointed star surmounted by the Coat of Arms of the United States between two white five-pointed stars at the top and two red five-pointed stars at bottom.

The historical rank of Sergeant Major General (which eventually became the current rank of Major General) was a 2 star position. Also - the standard insignia for a sergeant major (E-9) is three chevrons above three arcs with a (single) five pointed star between the chevrons and arcs. Sergeant Major of the Army (who is the senior representative of all enlisted soldiers) is also an E-9 but gets his own special insignia - with two stars. Originally it was just the two stars but in 1994 the insignia for Sergeant Major of the Army was changed to add the Coat of Arms of the United States between the two stars in the center of the insignia. There are thus two precedents for the use of a pair of stars for the Sergeant Major of the Army.

Note that the Office of the Chief of Staff, United States Army and Office of the Vice Chief of Staff, United States Army also use star pairs on their Positional colors. Both of these have the insignia of the General Staff, a five-pointed white star, surmounted by the Coat of Arms of the United States.

It's the Royal Gorge Bridge over the Arkansas River.

Arkansas adopted its flag in 1913 by putting a contest to what should their state flag should be and the winning flag was a red background with a blue diamond in the middle and within the diamond was 25 stars, because it was the 25th state to join the union and 3 stars in the middle of the diamond. Then in 1923 the state Legislature added a 4th star, 2 above and 2 below the name Arkansas. While the first 3 stars represented the nations that Arkansas belonged to (geographically) the 4th represented the Confederate States of America. The original "nations" were France, Spain, and the United States of America. In 1924 the Legislature moved the grouping of 3 stars below the name Arkansas because they each represented "nations" and left the lone 4th star above. This is fitting because the lone star was a popular symbol on the "Bonnie Blue Flag" during the Civil War for the Confederacy,and the symbol of a new republic.

The stars on the United States flag represent the 50 states of America, and the stripes represent the 14 original states of America.

Kansas' official flag was adopted in 1927. The flag has a blue field, the word "KANSAS," the sunflower (Kansas' state flower), and the state seal of Kansas. The seal pictures rich Kansas farmland, a farmer plowing, covered wagons, Native Americans hunting bison, a rising sun, a steamboat (representing commerce) on the water (beneath the sun and the mountains), 34 stars (since Kansas was the 34th state in the USA), and the state motto, "AD ASTRA PER ASPERA," meaning "To the stars through difficulty," in Latin.

Bay State shotguns were made prior to World War 2.
