My God, what a country we live in.
Okay. I have been inside the American History Museum in D.C. more times than I can count. You walk in, you look up, and you see Old Glory behind the Foucalt Pendulum, and the little sign, that told you the history of Old Glory.
Right?
No.
You walk in, you see a magnatometer, and a different flag.. It's not Old Glory. It has black smudges on it. And the little sign tells you that it's the "Pentagon Flag"... (let's see if I can get this right)... the one that was hung at the pentagon on September 12, 2001.
They do still have Old Glory on display, by the way. Just in a different exhibit.

People find it necessary to hyphenate most everything.
Life is simple. It's people that make it complicated.
