What's your trail name?

“Hardtack”

May consider a new one when I thru the PCT next year.

The Fleur de Lis should be gold not white.

But I still love the flag.

I am so sick of it not being ok to be white, y’all SJW need to chill the frick out

Baton Rouge needs to step up its flag game. The BR flag is so damn weak! No wonder nobody wants to fly that ugly thing.

If your skin was gold instead of white, you'd be more attractive.

Per wiki

The flag of the ethnic Acadian (Cajun) region (in Louisiana, United States) was designed in 1965 by Thomas J. Arceneaux.[1] Arceneaux was the dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He derived the flag from the University seal. Arceneaux was an early leader of the Louisiana French Renaissance Movement, a movement intended to renew interest and pride in the French-Acadian heritage, language, and culture of Louisiana.[2]

On July 5, 1974, the Louisiana State Legislature officially adopted Arceneaux's design as the official Acadiana flag through House Concurrent Resolution 143.[3]

Beats the hell out of that damn pelican. I wish it were the state flag.

As a history sidenote: the La flag before the War between the States read, Justice Confidence Union. Carpetbaggers changed it.

It's like design flags at the mall.

Gives tourists a sense of accomplishment.

We are here, someplace.
