Shawn got this flag from his teacher, at Thomas Claggett Middle School, Maryland, USA in 1982.
The reason it's special, is because it only has 49 Stars instead of 50. It was valid for a year between July 4th 1959 and July 4th 1960 when Hawaii was added as the 50th State.
We finally had it framed, he's been carrying it around all over the world for the last 30 years... now it finally has a home on the wall opposite Shawn's Military Wall of Fame in our hall way!
