One might consider the 20-foot by 30-foot American flag that hung in Jackson recently as a New Glory, one that has six more stars than the Old Glory of Wyoming statehood days. When Congress admitted Wyoming to the Union on July 10, 1890 as the 44th state, that called for adoption of a new flag with another star.
