(Reed Gwillim Law Jr. remembers:) In July, 1942, many U.S. magazines agreed to feature the flag on their covers. Peter Kreitler collected many of those issues many years later. "United We Stand" shows those covers. The Smithsonian Institution mounted an exhibit of the magazines at the American History Museum in Washington for a month in 2002. Janice and I and some of our children went to see it. Pete and his family met us there. He reminded me that we had met before, in Harwich, Cape Cod. Grammy (Bessie Law) had accompanied me on a visit to Aunt Edith (Pete's grandmother) one summer in the late 1960s. He remembered seeing me walking on the beach in black shoes and socks.
