some of the ‘flair’ I collected while working at the Cowboy Bar in Jackson. If Cheney was in town his driver would play pool at the bar in his off hours. Secret Service were cool & always had some great pins on them.
Pins carried and given out by the secret service to people. First one is an American flag with a badge on it that reads United States Secret Service. 2nd pin is a replica of the vice presidential limousine, the badge also reads US Secret Service. 3 pin is round with a drawing of a house, it say Vice Presidential protection Division US Secret Service.

In 2016, @lapubliclibrary.bsky.social & the Holocaust Museum got together to present the State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda at the Central Library downtown.
They should do it again.
