Subject: [Leica] The American flag is EVERYWHERE!

It is technically illegal here to use the flag on clothing or in
advertising and most of the other uses ones finds for it here, but the
laws regarding use of the flag are all unconstitutional as they violate
free speech rights, so they're not enforced.
