Texas Store Sells American Flag With 61 Stars



WFAA.com

Tim Childress holds the American flag with 61 stars he purchased at a Dallas store.

One Texas man couldn't believe what he saw on the American flag he purchased at a Dollar Tree store in Dallas: 11 extra stars emblazoned on Old Glory.

"You can kind of see the stars are all crooked, and if you count them, they're actually 61 stars," Tim Childress told WFAA.com.

Childress said he went back to the store where he bought the flag and sent an e-mail message to the marketing company in Virginia that made it hoping they might address the error.

"I kind of let them know that there are 50 states in the United States, and they need to correct this -- or at least get the Chinese supplier to correct this," Childress told the website.

The Dollar Tree's assistant store manager told WFAA.com that the flag is sold as a "patriotic banner" and not as an American flag

Here's an excerpt from a follow up article.

On Sunday night, we showed you an American flag with 61 stars instead of 50. A Dallas man purchased the plastic, Chinese-made flag at a Dollar Tree store.

A store manager said it was not a flag, but was sold instead as a "patriotic banner."

Dollar Tree now says it is destroying the 61-star flags.

The bad flag has 6 rows of 6 stars and 5 rows of 5 stars.

I've asked plenty of folks (not immigrants) how many states there are and had several not give the right answer. I've heard everything from 48-53.

Looks like that patriotic banner is a bit off. The field of stars looks like piece of material with stars on it, sewn to the stripey part.

I would expect a lot of returns on those flags, wonder how many they sold.

Being new to the country does give you an excuse to some degree.
