      Definitely not junk. Just not exactly sure what they are or how they were used.

      Can someone tell me what I have here. I know I have seen similar things before in Meusems.    We're these worn by members of the military? Delegation? They definitely go together they are made the same and have the same backing. The U.S. Flag is a bit bigger then the United Nations flag.
