Stars and stripes, Mississippi
Oh look, it’s the American Flag. This is from a war veterans’ graveyard near Rosedale in Mississippi – the tattered and faded flags dotted around various graves showed how long it’d been since anyone visited them, and one of the graves had a tree growing around it, like it was always meant to be there.
