Today is the 50th anniversary of Alaska's admission into Union. We became a state on Jan 3, 1959. Big parties all over the state today.
 
Dittos to whut all them other well wishers say. Happy Birthday to Alaska and its inhabitants. Sure would like the Yukon Jack concession. That place is nearly older than me.

Happy birthday, Alaska!

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
