Flags of Valor

[AverageJoe 95]

Came across these guys at the Oaks gun show this past weekend. This whole concept is awesome and I'm glad to have been a part of their support...They're a small company with 9 employees and they only employ combat veterans, most are service disabled. They have various types and different size wooden flags. This is their "Welcome Home" 50 states medium size, dedicated to the veterans of Vietnam. Every one comes signed on the back also comes with a personal thank you card from the person who made it...picture doesn't do it justice...

From their About Page:

 

 

 

Every flag begins its journey as raw wood specifically sourced from southern pine forests. Our artists hand select each plank for its grain, knots, and natural characteristics, then assemble into a blank canvas. Once the reverse is stained, they transition to the fine detail work of painting the 13 stripes, laying out the blue union, and delicately filling the field of stars. Each flag then goes through a lengthy antiquing process to highlight the intricacies of the wood until it is finally finished with polyurethane to protect it for many years to come. 

We are privileged to work with America's best. Our artists aren't just veterans, they are all combat veterans...many service disabled. Producing this beautiful product is more than a job. For some, it has even become a purpose and a therapeutic transition
