About Us Privacy Policy What's New Frequently Asked Questions Twenty-five years working for a local staffing firm, the last 15 years as co-owner, have been rewarding, for sure. However, much of my downtime had been spent thinking about my next adventure in life. As an avid trail runner, you’ll quickly discover I’m all about adventures! When my cousin, Al, presented me with the opportunity to take over The Flag Guys ®, the timing could not have been more perfect! I am truly honored and blessed to have this wonderful opportunity to take over and continue a business that Al and Pauline have dedicated a good part of their years to; a business they have built together with so much hard work, passion, and love. I know I have big shoes to fill, but I am excited and eager to serve you, and will work hard to do so. It runs in the family!

History of Veterans DayAccording to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' website, "World War I - known at the time as 'The Great War' - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of 'the war to end all wars.' Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good."
We at The Flag Guys thank our veterans for their sacrifices and for our freedom. You are truly America's heroes.
