holyjohnson Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 https://www.legion.org/flag/questions-answers/91475/what-significance-gold-fringe-which-we-see-some-united-states-flags Records indicate that fringe was first used on the flag as early as 1835. It was not until 1895 that it was officially added to the national flag for all regiments of the Army. For civilian use, fringe is not required as an integral part of the flag, nor can its use be said to constitute an unauthorized addition to the design prescribed by statute. It is considered that fringe is used as an honorable enrichment only. (Military tradition) The courts have deemed without merit and frivolous, lawsuits that contend that the gold fringe adorning the flag conferred Admiralty/Maritime jurisdiction. i spent a lot of time at DAVs and VFWs as a kid and the flags used there were the Flags Formally used on Bases in an Official Military Capacity. Veteran`s Groups had the Honor of Maintaining those Standards, i don't know if its still that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPTim Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 My wife was listening to someone saying that the fringe noted admiralty law and had some bullshit meaning, a la sovereign citizen. Oh well, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, law of navigable waters. People would be astounded at what that includes. Also, I think I took Aviation Law, also as an elective course. Can't really remember. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we call you Admiral Ricardo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
