By The Beachwood Flag Day To The Fourth Interim Affairs Desk
“In preparation for Naval Station Great Lakes’ 2011 centennial, sailors re-created a piece of naval history on Flag Day June 14,” the Sun-Times Media Network reports.
“The original Living Flag was photographed by Arthur Mole and featured 10,000 sailors who created a 48-star flag in celebration of the armistice on the parade field in November 1917.
“The June 14 flag – this time a 50-star version – included 7,500 sailors from Training Support Center, Recruit Training Command, Naval Hospital Corps School and other tenant commands at Great Lakes. ”
Here is that Living Flag as well as a few others.
1. It is alive!
*
2. DIY.
*
3. Witmen, Wisconsin’s seven-person living flag!
*
4. They do it over there too.
*
5. You can wear one too, with a “unique, 3D rippling effect.”
