Actually I got this information off of a ruler. I have one opaque ruler and one transparent ruler. The opaque ruler has 6 American flags (it shows the progression from 1775 to present day) on one side and pictures of past presidents (through Bush 41) on the other.
Ah...the presidential ruler...it brings back good memories...
