ANSWERS: 5-Star Stumper

It's been roughly two weeks since I posted my first "5-Star Stumper" puzzle, and as usual, it's time for me to reveal the answers as well as the people that solved it:
  • Grant Fikes ****
  • Punjit Sharma ****
  • YYW ****
  • Adam Weaver ****
  • Sam Levitin ****
  • Mom ****
  • Lynn Sweeney ****
  • Debbie Benford ****
  • Eric Maddy ****
  • Brad Eldredge ****
Now just head below the break for the answers, along with a solver comment!


And here are the answers in text format:

STARS: 1) Beverly, Rat, 2) Eva, Hiccups, 3) Madden, Venn, 4) Sprite, CCII, 5) Namath, Girl

RED STRIPE: Vespucci, ISP, Right, A Mad, Denver, Lyra

The white pentagons, when read from left to right and top to bottom, read out THE BICENTENNIAL, which the United States celebrated in 1976!

Hard to believe that the US government actually commissioned this!

Solver Adam Weaver said that he was "Not sure the 76 clue was needed. It made the final too obvious after only filling the top two stars"
