A Little History as Flag-Works Remembers 9/11

After dedicating over 25 years to the military, I thought my next chapter would be one of rest and reflection. However, life had a different plan for me. I recently took a leap into a new adventure by purchasing a flag shop from my good friend and Navy veteran, Patrick. As I embark on this new journey, I’m filled with optimism and excitement about what lies ahead.

While Patrick’s time in the Navy and my own in the Army and Army National Guard have been different, I’m very excited to be learning from him and following in his footsteps.

This photo is of Patrick holding a 9/11 “Never Forget” flag designed by a friend of his.

A New Beginning

Transitioning from a military career to civilian life is a significant shift, but owning a flag shop has infused my new chapter with a sense of purpose and enthusiasm. Flags are more than just decorative pieces; they are powerful symbols of history, pride, and identity. Taking over the shop from Patrick feels like a natural extension of my commitment to service, but in a different form.

Embracing the Flag Shop Experience

Stepping into the flag shop for the first time was a thrilling experience. The store is filled with a vibrant array of flags, each telling its own unique story. From national flags to custom designs, every item in the shop represents a piece of history and pride. It’s incredibly fulfilling to help customers find the perfect flag, whether they’re marking a special occasion, honoring their heritage, or simply showing their national pride.

One of the most exciting aspects of this new venture is learning about the diverse range of flags and their histories. It’s a joy to share this knowledge with customers, turning their purchases into meaningful symbols of their own stories and values.

Building Connections

Owning a flag shop has also allowed me to connect with a new community. The camaraderie I once enjoyed in the military is now reflected in the interactions with my customers and local organizations. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in flag-raising ceremonies and working with schools to educate young people about the significance of these symbols.

Looking Ahead

As I settle into this new role, I am filled with optimism about the future of the flag shop. There’s so much potential to grow, explore new flag offerings, and build lasting relationships with the community. While this is a new industry for me, my enthusiasm for preserving and celebrating the symbols that unite us drives me forward.

I’m excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing this passion with you. If you’re ever in the area, I’d love for you to stop by and experience the joy of discovering the perfect flag for your needs.

Thank you for joining me on this new adventure. Here’s to embracing new beginnings and celebrating the symbols that bring us together.

9/11 15 years ago.

Flag of Heroes:  Made in the USA includes the names of all the Emergency Services personnel, including FDNY, PAPD, and NYPD & COURT Officers.

Patriot Day is an annual observance on September 11 to remember those who were injured or died during the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. Many Americans refer Patriot Day as 9/11 or September 11.

The flags are a historical marker to the events of 9/11 which is one of the most significant events of our lifetime. They give people a tangible connection to that day. Since flags are used as symbols in our country and a flag can be framed or flown it was the best way to create a lasting tribute that the public could embrace on an individual level.

The American Flag is often displayed around images of the events on September 11, 2001. This is to remind Americans that their country remained strong in the face of massive terrorist attacks.

The Flag of Honor and Flag of Heroes are in stock at Flag-Works over America.  You can place your order online or with a customer service representative at 1-800-580-0009.  Please remember: all flags purchased online ship for free.
