Bramley discusses the construction of the United States Flag in his interview with Robert Freeman.

United States Flag
Sewn by Clarence Bramley

About four or five guys and I one day decided we needed a flag. We went down to the tailor shop, and they cut out the Stars and Stripes. I sewed them together to make the flag. We worked all night on it and took it out to reveille in the morning. Of course, the guys could see it, but the officers couldn’t because they were facing the guys. When we had the flag salute, the officers turned around like they usually did, but there was a flag. It was quite a great experience.
