	Vietnamese seeking to honor fallen flag
		Vinh Dang is asking the Syracuse Common Council to ignore the Vietnamese Embassy and to honor a fallen flag.
		Dang said Vietnam's current flag is a symbol of the Communist government that imprisoned him for nearly a decade and is hated by millions of refugees who fled Vietnam because of a fear of retribution, political and religious persecution.
		Vietnam's current flag, a red background with a single five-point yellow star in the middle, is the official flag recognized by the United States and other countries.

	Rules of Speed Chess
		A flag shall not be considered fallen until he or his opponent sees it, declares it to be fallen, and stops both clocks.
		If a player is checkmated, but then notices that his opponent's flag has fallen and his own flag has not yet fallen, he may stop the clocks and claim a win; in other words, the status of the clocks takes precedence over the board position in declaring the outcome of a game.
		Similarly, if a player is checkmated, but then notices that his opponent's flag has fallen and his own flag has not yet fallen, and then stops his opponent's clock, but in the process his own flag falls, the game must be declared drawn, unless both players agree as to whose flag fell first.

	Lieut.-Gov. Dungan's Speech - Battle Flag Day Book
		You remember the shout which greeted the first flag received by your regiment as it was unfurled to the breeze in your sight.
		One color-bearer is shot down and another springs to his place, raises the fallen flag and moves forward only to fall as the first, until sometimes three or four have fallen in a single battle.
		Color-bearers, yours is the post of honor to-day; you take these old flags in your hands for the last time; you carry them to the capitol and deliver them into the hands of the governor of the state who, on behalf of the state, receives them at your hands and sees to their proper deposit.

	Braingle: 'The Flag Pole' Brain Teaser
		The flag's height is equal to the ground to the pulley system.
		If the string only goes up from the pulley system to the bottom of the flag and the flag pole is 14 meters in height, then the string must cover 12 meters in total (14-1-1).
		If the diameter of the pole is 10cm and the height covered is 12 meters (1200cm) then unwrapped in to a rectangle it would be pi(10) (since the circumference of a circle is pi{d}) by 1200 cm rectangle.

		Virginia's Legislature passed a bill Friday requiring the flag of the former South Vietnam--America's ally during the war--to replace the flag of the current communist government at public schools and state universities, whenever such flags might be displayed.
