      Michael Berson , my favorite LOC America Flag primary source is this World War I Poster:

    War gardens victorious--Every war garden a peace plant 

    In addition to celebrating Flag Day, this poster also encourages reflection around the theme   Jen Reidel   explored in a 2020 LOC Blog, "Exploring Civic Virtue During a Time of Crisis".  

    Another good Flag Day resource.
