From the June 1-7, 2014, American Profile Magazine "Old Glory" by Vicki Cox.
*** According to usflag.org., few historians really believe that Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross made the first U.S. flag.
*** America's current 50-star flag was designed in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1958 by 17-year-old Robert Heft for a high school class project.
*** Prior to a 1912 Executive Order, flag makers were free to shake up the arrangement of the stars and vary the proportions of the stripes.
