Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > I want to thank you for your enthusiastic support in filling an order for a dear friend, Maj. M.I.CH (MAJ), USAF Post Chaplain. 

He was assigned to the duty of Officer In Charge for the Memorial Day 'Honoring the Fallen' Service and Program and Memorial Wall presented on May 26th in Camp Buehring, Kuwait.
Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > I once received an insulting phone call from someone who thought it was anti American for us to display the picture of the "Field of Flags" on the home page of www.flagguys.com  Go figure, it takes all kinds. I find such displays very moving and meaningful. The letter we received after shipping flags to Kuwait for Memorial Day 2008 speaks for itself. I stand by our decision to display pictures of these kinds of flag displays. Here is the very kind letter that came with the photos:

"You were kind enough to pull an order together of more than 4600 flags to be used during this ceremony. Words cannot express enough gratitude for your help in this special "mission".
I have attached a sampling of photos and a poem read at the event. 
They include the "construction" of the sea of flags, the setting for the Memorial Day Service and a couple of photos of the poster boards and displays honoring those killed.
Thank you again, Al and Pauline.

Each Flag represented one of our fallen heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

We agree. However, mounting flag brackets to brick and getting them to stay there is a real tough challenge. Before doing so, be sure to read the "how to" article about that topic on flagguys.com
Al Cavalari (theflagguys) > One of our best flag kits, "The Tank", on a terrific brick house in Fayetteville, Tennessee. There is nothing like a brick house:no maintenance. And they picked a classy upscale kit befitting of the home. The caption on the email that contained these two photos said......
