Happy Birthday, Minh Nguyen! My tie is one of several that Minh bequeathed to me during his recent shift from Eastern Kentucky University to Florida Gulf Coast University, where he is now Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Honors College. We worked together for many years in the Honors Program at EKU. I think the bold horizontal stripes (in navy, red, dark green, white and yellow) resemble a national flag, but I haven't found one that matches well. The closest ones seem to be Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ethiopia and Mauritius.
