Is That All There Is?





I derived these links, which I've displayed in alphabetical order, from the top 50 results of Google and Yahoo! searches I performed on October 5, 2006, using search terms "american flag", "american flag pictures", "flag", "flag of the united states", "united states flag", and "us flag".

I am providing these links for informational and educational purposes only, and therefore have not included links to commercial web sites, such as those which sell American flags, clip art, or stock photography. I have also not included links to sites espousing political beliefs or persuations.
