This is an oversize (5-1/4" X 6-3/4") postcard and is part of a series made for the 1976 U.S. bicentennial. I am posting it in honor of flag day.

BETSY ROSS AND THE FIRST STARS AND STRIPES
By Dunsmore
In 1776, Mrs. Ross of Philadelphia was commissioned to make the first American flag. A committee consisting of Robert Morris and George Ross, accompanied by General Washington called upon this celebrated seamstress and together with her suggestions produced "Old Glory" , the emblem of our Liberty. The design was adopted by resolution of the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.
Sweet Americana. Happy PFF!
