Thinking about another old SSB s/off film...

[Stanislav]

For no particular reason, my feeble brain today accessed a distant memory of an old SSB sign-off film that is tangentially related to the "Flag Evolution" SSB, at least in the sense that it also features period flags.

In the one I recall, a series of color guards pass in review, each representing a different era of U.S. history, dressed in period uniforms, and carrying the appropriate flag. Starts chronologically with Revolutionary War outfits and the 13-star flag, and proceeds from there.

Anyone recall this one?

I wonder if something like this is what you are thinking...this is from a 1985 sign-off of WVIT-30 New Britain when Viacom owned them...

No, don't think so. The one I recall had several different color guards in succession, in what I seem to recall as a pretty stark setting, like a bare open field (no buildings, etc. in the background like in the WVIT video), and I don't remember anything like the "sea" of multiple flags planted in the ground as in the video. My memories of this were seeing it once or twice, maybe on a trip, back in the mid-to-late 70's.
