This photo taken Sept. 5, 2014 shows the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington exhibit of the flag that inspired the national anthem 'Star-Spangled Banner', with a portion of the flag that is missing a star and other section of fragments. Years ago parts of the flag were snipped off and handed out as mementos and the Smithsonian has been reacquiring some of those fragments and adding to their collection.
