I learned something new from one of the 5th graders, today. We were showing off the
Navy Jack. I asked how many stripes there were, and they all answered "13." I asked how many rattles the snake had - "13." Then one of the 5th graders raised his hand and said " 'DONT TREAD ON ME'... that's 13 letters." For as many times as we've shown off the flag, I've never noticed that!
