Yankee flag

[St Albans Raid]

I went on a little ride bringing my 5 year old Grandson to his cousin for a play date and every time he saw the US flag he said "It's a Yankee Flag It's a Yankee Flag!!!!!"

I told him that it's the US flag because at the time of the Civil War the "Yankee Flag" had less stars.

This, in Brrrrrmont? I'm shocked, just shocked! Five year-olds are funny as heck - enjoy him!

Thanks, I did have a good chuckle when I heard him. He usually wears a penguin hat, however, today he even chose to wear a kepi. I had to ask my other Civil War buddy, (my 11 yr old grandson) how many stars were on the "Yankke flag" (lol).

Depends on the year.

That's correct, as it depends on the date they were admitted into the "Union"

Would appreciate hearing other funny kid stories.

When I was stationed in Massachusetts in the Air Force, I took a ride with some friends I met at church. We drove up to New Hampshire to hike Mount Manadnock(sp?). As we drove through a nice New England town and passed the "green", I saw a statue and said "Oh! Look at that Confederate Monument!"

I got a good laugh.
That is what I always called them.
