Put a smile on someone’s face or bring a tear to their eye. Today thank a veteran or active military service member for their service. They may walk away standing just a little taller & with an extra bounce in their step; as well they should! So to all VETERANS & ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS....THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For your service to our country we appreciate your sacrifice for us!

Proper U.S. Flag Disposal

We all enjoy the sight of Old Glory flying high, but what are we supposed to do with her when Mother Nature has worn her out? There are a couple acceptable options for disposal of a U.S. Flag. Many Boy Scout groups will take your flag for disposal, as well as most American Legion’s, and VFW posts. However, U.S. Flag code TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > Sec. 8(k): "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning"

How "Old Glory" got her name

"Old Glory" is rich with our Nation’s history & pride. Capt. Driver, a 19th century American Sea Captain, was given a 10’x17’ flag by his mother to fly from the mast of the “Charles Doggett”. First time it was unfurled Capt. Driver exclaimed “Old Glory” as his ship left for the trip around the world. So do “Old Glory” proud and fly her high. CVSFlags.com has a wide variety of US flags to choose from, so order today.

SEPT 9th 1850 CALIFORNIA INDUCTED INTO THE UNION

On the 9th of September the state of California was inducted into the union. The California state flag we know today is an adaptation of an earlier flag created by William Todd in June of 1846. Todd’s painting was mistaken by many native Californians as the word ‘Coc...he,’ a common term for pig, which was often uttered while viewing the flag. The flag also had a five-point star and the words “California Republic” on it. In 1911 California adopted its current state flag. This flag was based upon the original Bear Flag.
CVSFlags.com offers the California flag in a variety of sizes and finishes, so go ahead and paint Cali proud by ordering your California flag today. Call us or visit us @ www.CVSFlags.com

GET YOUR FLAG READY for 9/11

GET YOUR FLAG READY! On Saturday, September 11, 2010, every American should make it their duty to display an American flag outside their home, apartment, office and store. We should do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
