Description of the flag

The flag of the Village of Oak Lawn, Illinois, is green with two white horizontal lines - one near the top, and one near the bottom. In the first half, on the hoist, is positioned a village seal, and on the other half, on the fly, are positioned two oak leaves with acorns. Photo of the flag was sent to me by Roger A. Minnis, Village of Oak Lawn Buildings & Grounds.

About the village:
"Oak Lawn is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The population was 55,245 at the 2000 census." - from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ak_Lawn,_Illinois.

The borders of oak leaves are the exact same shade of green as the material of the flag itself - they only stand out by the stitching. The flag seal is different from
two others provided to Valentin. The seal depicts an eagle carrying a gigantic transparent acorn between two tiny oak trees.
