I am proud to fly the flag and I have a number of people who receive an e-mail from me when we respectfully drop the flag to half-mast for multiple well-deserved reasons.
Currently, whenever I discover someone who needs one I donate one to them, individual, shop owner, organization, or business. By Peter P on May 30, I flew the Black Mourning Banner on my 2. As directed, I only left it flying from Sunrise to noon time. I ordered a Black Mourning Banner for a elderly woman and explained the information supplied by your company concerning Flag display.
Thank You for making my Memorial Day a special one. By Gator on January 26, My local Post Office has a short flag pole on the roof. When trying to post at half-staff the flag would be laying on the roof. The local postmaster thought it was more disrespectful to the flag if laying on the roof, I agree.
I purchased the Ribbon and donated it to my post office. By DiE on December 18, The Black Mourning Ribbon is very nice. It is well made and says a lot about the company. I am glad that I ordered the Ribbon because there is no better way to pay respect to our service men and women that have lost their lives for our freedom. Thanks so much Gettysburg Flag Works for the great customer care and fast shipment. Would definitely do biz again with you. God bless America!
By Lee on December 13, The two black mourning ribbons I purchased came exactly as described. I dare say our church might be the only church in the larger area to display such flags, as it seems as if few people understand the traditions and directions of the US Code for displaying our Nation's Symbol. Good job, Gettysburg Flag Works! Thank you. By Tom on October 2, This mourning ribbon is good, very satisfied. By Dallas on September 30, Quite satisfied with the Mourning Ribbon.
By Sam on September 16, This mourning ribbon works great with my flag. It is of fine quality material with a brass grommet, and sewn around the edges to keep it from fraying. It is a lot nicer than I thought it would be. If you can't lower your flag, this ribbon is the one for you. By Pg on September 11, This banner is a perfect way to display mourning with a house flag.
By Jack on September 6, The colored stripe symbolizes the thin line between the public and the danger they hold at bay. Although the "thin line" phrase was originally coined in the s signifying the red color of the British Army uniforms. The first use of the thin blue line was used in in a poem by Nels Dickmann Anderson referring to the United States Army. By the early s, the term had spread to police departments across the U. In addition to the police, eight other public service branches have adopted thin line colors of their own, including the thin red line flag of the fire department.
Flying a thin line flag shows support for the associated service branch, noted below:. Our blue and red thin line flags are designed in two different ways: a black and white American flag with a single colored stripe; or as a pure black flag with a single, slightly wider colored stripe. Flag and Banner is proud to offer both thin line flag designs. The black and white American thin line flag is available custom made with other color choices. Get a Quote Free Stuff.
