The Swastika

[sydhe]

We used to have a swastika on Sutton Hall at the University of Oklahoma. I think it's still there. The building dates back before 1923.

Still there. They mentioned it in the student paper a few days ago.

The Boy Scout troop I was in growing up, which dated back to the earliest days of the BSA, once used the swastika as a logo.

when i was rewsearching it the reson they belive the native american have it too is because its is soo acient that it exsited at the time when humans croosed into north america.
Also you'll still find it on churches in europe. and in flags, such as Sicily's and the Isle of Man, use a three pointed one.

The Sicilian flag is possibly the strangest one I have ever seen.

The swastika motif is still part of some Finnish medals, the presidential flag and the air force unit badges (flags). I think the air force badges are something of little interest to most folks but trying to alter the Cross of Liberty (sometimes also called the Mannerheim Cross here) would probably result in an outcry.
