I got that email, too. It's nice, but it's really a case of people adding significance "after the fact".

It's coincidental that the total of the numbers in 1776 is 21. Here's the official version of the 21 gun salute which, as most US traditions, can be traced back to Britain and beyond.

The flag folding sequence from above is part of the Air Force Academy's flag ceremony.

Still, I thought it was very nice
