Thinks flag design should include state name
I queried “Mississippi State Coat of Arms and Motto.” My results included the state shield design. On the shield, the state name is shown above an eagle, which shows a red, white and blue shield on its chest. I thought surely the name of our state would be on the chosen flag, and I am very disappointed that the Shield Flag Design, which is one of the two finalists, does not include “Mississippi” on it.
