Don't burn it, but lets make money

Americans obsess over their flags way too much.

You know, I'm thinking more along the lines of historical heritage. The things you want to find in some museum because it's an important part of you history. Can be good or bad, but these items are significant and belong to the public.

In our case, it would be something like the car in which archduke Franz Ferdinand met his fate or his bloodied uniform. They're witness to the first shots fired in WWI and I guess such items aren't as inflationary as flags. But D day was a pretty important date also. The fact that they expect to get some 80.000 bucks also point to them not being exactly sold at every corner shop.
