The Service Flag Family Tradition It
has become customary to display this standard by immediate family members of a
person serving in the Armed Forces during a period of war. It may be flown as a
traditional flag with canvas heading and grommets beneath the US flag on a
flagpole although it is more commonly seen as a bannerette hung in a home or in
a window. This action demonstrates
Patriotism and Pride in the sacrifice of all who have
made this Great Nation possible through Military Service. Our Product
Background The flag was designed by Capt. R.L. Queisser and copyrighted in
1917. The copyright has since passed to the US Dept. of Defense, which regulates
its sale and manufacture. Organizations and businesses may also display the
Service Flag if they have members serving in the Armed Forces. Annin & Co.
has been authorized by the US Government to manufacture and sell the Service
Flag. |
