   Steve, Texas had more than the 'standard' SIX flags they keep naming   
   amusement parks for.  Actually had several more, but one specific flag was   
   the "Green Flag" which was carried by Gutierrez and Magee on their   
   expedition around 1813.  Rather a forgotten flag now, except for a few folks   
   who know about it, or have read one of Bob Thonhoff's books!
