stealthytyler Posted January 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2018 These were given out for many different reasons. Would be impossible to tell you unless you research the the person and find out why. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMI88 Posted January 6, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2018 Many units in Iraq/Afghanistan had a formal program where you'd drop off a flag with their admin section, they'd fly it on the FOB or aboard an aircraft, then return it with a printed certificate. Soldiers would buy flags at the PX for presentation to friends and family, units would present them to visitors, etc. I've seen literally dozens of flags in the queue at once so this was very commonly done.

nirvana Posted January 6, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 6, 2018 Agreed. There are a lot of these around. My local courthouse has one in a filing office. One was flown and donated to a group of 8 people who stamp paper and organize files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
