Found in a restaurant window downtown, the flag of the City of St. Louis with its fleur-de-lys turned into a peace sign. The actual flag looks like this:
It represents the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi, our French founders and Spanish rule of the territory before that. (There's a bit of a story behind it.) But with the vibrations of Ferguson still stirring the area, the way it's affecting people and the impact it has had on the region's business, peace would be welcome.

Pretty subtle change of the fleur-de-lys. France itself can also use some of it I guess.
I am with you Bob.
A strangely fitting adjustment, given the times. The confluence aspect of the flag is quite suitable too.
Thanks for that explanation. Makes sense now. Always have enjoyed saying the word 'confluence'. Some words are mighty fine conbo of letters.
I vote for peace.
