The odd thing I get every other show is someone asking (or sometimes demanding) where my "POW/MIA? flag is, as if it's some sort of law to have one.
I remind them that the flag didn't exist in 1944, so therefore, you won't find one in or on my MB. Oddly, I've met some almost crazy people on the subject, ad some folk don't take kindly to me not already recognizing the things they find important. I have had to tell a few, "Hey, you want a POW/MIA Jeep? Go get your own and do whatever you want with it."
I have little parade flags that are 48 star, just in case someone hands me one before a parade. I always swap them out, and only I know.
I've gone to a lot of trouble to get everything as it should be for WW2.
