gtho4 says: they were responsible for the current design of their respective country's flag In 1801 Northern Ireland became part of the United Kingdom and St. Patrick's flag, a red diagonal cross on a white background, was added to the Union Jack by King George III. Executive Order of President Taft dated June 24, 1912 - established proportions of the flag and provided for arrangement of the stars in six horizontal rows of eight each, a single point of each star to be upward. http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/misc/misc3.htm#Flags Thu Feb 14 01:18:18 CST 2002 (To fix link - McG)
