Hi, I’m proud of my ancestor’s role in aiding the American Revolution, but I’m sure he was also proud of his French roots and culture. Having an American Flag as his primary photo seemed heavy handed. The two stickers adequately serve the purpose IMHO, while not obscuring his cultural identity. Be aware I happily added this to other patriots in my line who became American nationals under this flag, at least those who lived to see it :_(
