Another legend about the three stars, also erroneous, is that they represented the three U.S. Presidents from Tennessee. This is incorrect but somewhat understandable in that the flag wasn't adopted until well after each of the three had served. Rlquall 14:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Salute
Did the proposed salute ever pass the House? If not, its place in the article, at least to the level of prominence that it currently holds, is questionable/marginal IMO. Rlquall 14:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Triangle of Stars
Is it not in some way significant that the triangle of stars is not pointing firmly down or up or left or right, but slightly turned? In my 7th grade Tennessee History we learned that there was some sort of significance to this, but I forget it.
The stars are arranged so that two points of each one lie adjacent to the inner perimeter of the circle, I believe this is mainly for aesthetic reasons. - Paul D., former TN resident. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.187.210.32 (talk)
