Flags

November 17, 1966, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

I could have saved this post for Flag Day in June.  I'm not sure why the state flag hadn't been flown before along with the U.S. flag at local high schools.  But in order to distinguish it from the many other blue U.S. state flags, Wisconsin's flag was modified in 1979 to add "Wisconsin" and "1848", the year Wisconsin was admitted to the Union. All Wisconsin state flags manufactured after May 1, 1981 were required to use this design.
