There must be a story here. Why?
On this website's home page, isn't the flag they are holding up a 48 star flag?
We haven't had a 48 star flag since 1959. Rick was four then; he looks older than 4 in the picture.

The flag is one that flew over a French Chateau the day it was liberated at the end of WW2.
