Help ID a Gold Star Flag

[TommyGun]

Hello, I know this doesn't fall under the category of WW2. I was hoping someone could ID this 50 star US flag for me. It is a weird size, 5 feet x 7 feet. All the stars are gold. It is machined stitched (appears commercially made), no tags/stamps etc. and not in the greatest condition. I know a single gold star means a wartime casualty to a family member, but I can find nothing like this. Any help would be appreciated. Tom

I think the flag is related to a naval flag on a ship bringing back bodies of American soldiers but cannot remember the connection or if my memory serves me well.

Thanks for the response and info. Definetly think it has something to do with fallen soldiers.
