I always like the "claims parts" ...best:
<<<..on the history of the Hopkinson claim. Aside from the lack of vouchers, the members of
the board knew that "Hopkinson was not the only person consulted" on the matter of designs and
therefore could not rightly claim the whole amount, and in addition, the board felt that the public was
entitled to these extra services from men who drew high salaries.

Though Hopkinson's political adversaries blocked all attempts to have him paid for his services, they
never denied that he made the designs. The journals of the Continental Congress clearly show that he
designed the flag

The design of the first Stars and Stripes by Hopkinson had the thirteen stars arranged in a
"staggered" pattern technically known as quincuncial because it is based on the repetition of a motif
of five units. This arrangment inevitably results in a strongly diagonal effect. In a flag of thirteen stars,
this placement produced the unmistakable outline of the crosses of St. George and of St. Andrew, as
used together on the British flag...>>
Happy Flag Day- rain or shine I have my Hop Flag from the Flag Guys already-already!
