San Antonio : TEXAS:

Another "Did you Know " card for my collection thank you Arnold..never get too may of these cards I really like them..This card shows the house of the famous Betsy Ross..famous for sewing the first American flag with the 13 stars..
 Bettsy Ross born was born on January 1st 1752 and died January 30th 1836 :According to family tradition  who , upon a visit from General George Washington commander in Chief of the Continental Army in 1776 , Ross had changed the shape of the stars that he had drawn up for the flag from six pointed to five pointed by demonstrating on the spot that it was easier and speedier to cut the latter. Betsy Ross was chosen to sew the first American flag and George Washington agreed to use a circle of 13 stars so no one colony would stand above another..  another nice piece of History..        Thank you for this card Arnold.
