The Austrian flag and me

According to legend, after a fierce battle during the crusades Duke Leopard V of Austria found his white battle dress drenched in blood.  Upon removing his belt, the cloth underneath was still white, and he was so moved by the sight that this pattern became his flag.

And in the same spirit, I will continue to wear my orange shirt; the holes and tears will be a reminder of the battle.
