Apple has a feature on all iPhone's and iPad's called "emojoi" icons. These are small picture icons that can be entered in text fields, such as sending a text message or typing an email. Inside the emojoi section, there is a tab that contains icons for several flags.
As an American citizen, using my iPhone in the US of A, I should not have to skip over Japan, Korea, Germany, and China just to get to the American flag to show my patriotism. Since Memorial Day has passed, I propose that we make this change in less than 3 weeks, so ALL Americans can proudly and quickly display their patriotism by July 4th.
