Description

Billy Bob Wisehahn's American flag flies at full staff. "As Fort Worth makes plans to honor the flags of all the United Nations on Flag Day, June 14, there are natives of those nations who join in daily honor to the American flag. Their own have been usurped by the swastika. One of the most ardent little Americans is Billy Bob Wiesehahn, 10, whose dad, W. H. Wiesehahn, recently erected a 40-foot pole from which the American flag flies daily. Billy Bob, each morning at sunrise, raises the flag and lowers it at sunset. He is careful to observe all the rules of flag etiquette- and his parents think it is excellent citizenship training." The flag is being framed by a nearby building and puffy clouds in the sky.
