    I still want to know what the pin was Palin was wearing over her American flag pin. I asked this in the VP debate thread, and had answers of Canada, Alaska, and Israel, all of which I don't think it was.

    The pin was rectangular with a red star on a white background surrounded by a red border.

    Hopefully someone can put this to rest for me pretty quickly.

    It's a single star, I believe it means you have a child in the military/war etc

    Oh and with the first pick in the 84 NBA draft.....

    They have a homestead law where you receive 2 acres of land every two years you live there. Hence, the "Free Alaska."
