Iowa family donates flag honoring Utah as nation's '45th star'

In 2007, Jack Mommer was at an Iowa junkyard in search of some salvageable car parts when he came across a pile of fabric bundled at the bottom of a dirty van. After further inspection, Mommer immediately recognized that the bundle was actually an historic 45-star flag. Being a flag-history enthusiast, Mommer felt it was his duty to return the 45-star flag to the home the nation's 45th State at Utah's Capitol building.

Best and worst of city flags across America

By Sarah Burchett
January 17, 2015 12:00 AM
The City of Provo is changing its city flag. Yes, it has a city flag. Yes, we are VERY glad it is changing it. No, it's not a blue and white 'Y.' This current event prompted some deep thoughts like: 'Provo has a city flag?' 'Do other cities have city flags?' 'Is it cool to have a city flag?' Turns out, having a city flag is a trend and not just in the United States. Cities around the world represent themselves on a piece of cloth and fly it high and proud. But should they? Below you'll find a smattering of US city flags, both successes and failures.
