    As a matter of fact, that is the flag I always carry in the parades. I represent the SCV as a rider with the Texas Division Mounted Color Guard. We carry each flag that Texans have fought under from the beginning to today's war on terror. The San Jacinto flag happens to be my favorite as it represents the turning point in Texas history.

    The "San Jacinto Flag" is one of my favorites.

    Scott, now you know why I carry that flag!

    I can't speak for the other Red States, but we Texans have an appreciation for the finer "attributes" of Lady Liberty. Have you ever seen Texas women?
