ZSMICHAELHelp select our new state flag for Mississippi
If you have some time, it appears the selection process included the submissions of first graders. Actually some are not too bad. Here is the link to the submitted drawings.

mrapteam666When I clicked the link it asked for an email address.
I did a google search and this news site came up
https://www.wtva.com/content/n...-flag-571994261.htmlIt will allow you to click on the link and view the flag submissions without having to enter and email address.

2BobTannerRequirement is to have “In God We Trust” on it too.
Suggestion: put the State Seal on a blue field like most of the other States have and be done with the problem.

TRIOI like the "Hospitality Flag", but I don't think it would qualify as it doesn't have any words on it.

357fuzzDoes anyone think Libs are snapping right now w/ the requirement of having “In God we trust” on the new flag?
I can see them just jumping up and down in joy because they got rid of the Confederate flag portion then the requirement about God is thrown in there. I can see crying, grinding of gears, and heads exploding.

ZSMICHAEL^^^^^^^
Our former Governor, Phil Bryant somehow made that a requirement.

BeancookerI’m sitting here in disbelief that they currently do not have a state flag, and the reasons it was removed.
Each time I see bits of history being erased, hidden, or otherwise made invisible, it reminds me of this statement: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”.

Anyways, it's a fine looking flag, and should serve Mississippi well.

HornA White flag would seem appropriate.

Excam_ManSeems like a copy of the current one would do just fine.

henryazI like the one with the 9 stars in the canton, shaped like a cross. It is just a variation of the 2nd official CSA flag, the stars and bars, with 9 stars representing the member states at that time:
If this one could slip by, MS would still have a Confederate style flag.

TRIOApparently the "Hospitality Flag" was previously known as the "Stennis Flag" since it was created by the grand daughter of John Stennis. She now wants to distance her name from the flag due to his past. Guess it's ok to have an aircraft carrier named after him.

Yeah not just the carrier. They renamed the NASA space center after him. We also have Forrest County named after Nathan Bedford Forrest.
