The flag

Calumet City has reported that it does have a flag, but does not have a digital image of it.
Valentin Poposki, 9 September 2010

The flag for the city of Calumet City, Illinois, has a white background, the names of the city and state in red caps on the top and bottom respectively, and the head of a Native American inside a blue circle wearing a multicolored feather hat. The flag was designed by artistic Korean War veteran Stan Klekot in the 1960s as part of a project started by the Ehinger Brothers. The newspaper, however, is from 2006, and reports the donation of one of the original flags to the local historical society.

Ehinger Brothers Veterans of Foreign Wars 8141 presented an original Calumet City flag to the Calumet City Historical Society at this month's meeting. The Calumet City flag program was a project initiated by Ehinger. Brothers in the 1960s. The commander at the time appointed Edward Bliznik the Americanism chairman. Bliznik contacted Stan Klekot, a Korean veteran with artistic talents, to develop and design a flag for the city. Klekot drew the Indian head and the outside circle. Because of their pride in Calumet City schools, the veteran community chose school colors to be part of the flag, according to a written release. The colors include purple and gold from T.F. North, red and white from St. Andrews, green and yellow from St. Victors, blue and white from Our Lady of Knock, blue and yellow from Lincoln, red and white from Schrum and blue and white from Wentworth.
