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.

Political Flags of the Times – Trump Flags

Political promotion has come in many styles, lawn signs, bumper stickers, endorsements, TV and radio advertisements, Tweets, Facebook, all forms of social media etc. Although flags have always been apart of the political landscape, with American flags being the predominant backdrop for the candidates, subliminally saying how patriotic they are. There are also political party flags, Independent, Republican and Democrat which have never received to much attention. However, I foresee advertising with flags having a big upsurge due to one political candidate.

Flags being used as a backdrop.

Donald Trump has created many one line phrases which work great on flags. “Make America Great Again” with bars and stars is a simple, crisp and clear message displayed on a white background. It is readable and instantly recognizable as a Trump flag. That design then works with almost any phrase such as “No More Bullshit” a line from one of Mr. Trumps speech “rally”.

A Line From a Rally/Speech

With this basic design People can be reminded of his accomplishments, his beliefs, and the attacks from his opposition as with the phrase “Promises Made Promises Kept” “God Family Country”, “No Collusion” All appealing to different members of his base supporters.

With the newest phrase “2020 Keep America Great” winning as his new slogan for this election cycle, I foresee many new slogan/flags in the near future.

America

Now here is a poem that I think as you read it you will poblably start singing instead.  I know this song is in your head.

America
Samual Francis Smith
(1808-1895)

My country, ‘Tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
“Land of the pilgrims’ pride
From every mountain-side
Let freedom ring.

My native country, thee
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills.
Thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom’s song;
let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake,
Let rocks their silence break–
The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.
