    		"{That} Texas's (is) the only state flag allowed to fly at the same height as the US ..... is an urban legend. All state flags may fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. The U.S. flag must be on its right (the viewer's left), however. Texas's laws are consistent with those of the other states." http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

    If each star on the US flag represents a state then why are there only 48 stars on the flag raised on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, May 1945? Pearl Harbour was attacked in 1941 and Hawaii is the 50th state so shouldn't there be 50 stars on the flag?
