INFO NUGGET ON THE AMERICAN FLAG:

The 50-star flag of the United States was raised for the first time officially at 12:01 AM on July 4, 1960, at Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore, MD.  The 50th star had been added for Hawaii; a year earlier the 49th, for Alaska.  Before that, no star had been added since 1912.
