Honoring Military Families this November
November 1, 2011 | 
Author Every November our nation takes time to honor and remember the Military Families that hold down the home front while their service persons keep all of us safe. We at Flags on Cars want to Honor you as well – I put together a few words of thanks and remembrance – from all of us to all of you… (because, unfortunately, they don’t make greeting cards for Military Families Month?).
To All Those Left Behind…
To the friends and family of our Military,
Those who wait, and wonder,
eager for an email, a word, a call
dreading a knock at the door…
so our friends and families can sleep in peace each night.
To the Moms and Dads,
Those whose babies make up our Military
whose love and support keeps them strong
and who wait, with bated breath, while their babies are away
so other Moms and Dads can safely hug loved ones…
To the Fiancés, Wives and Husbands
Those who pull double duty,
the un-enlisted who live the military life
and somehow maintain relationships over an absence of months and years,
so other Fiancés, Wives and Husbands can sleep together every night…
To the Children and Grandchildren
Those who wave at Skype screens
and video baseball games and dance recitals
who miss their Moms and Dads every day,
so other Children and Grandchildren can grow up in Freedom…
To all those left behind,
when our Service persons go to give their all
Thank you. For all you do. Thank you.
………….
Do you have a military family you’d like to honor this November? A family who gives all so that their loved one can protect us each and every day? Email us at sales@flagsoncars.com and share your story – we’d love to share it with the world!

Happy Halloween from FlagsOnCars!
We’ve been having a great time here with parties, costumes and (of course!) decorations, but here’s a short break to share this awesome photo with you of our favorite Flag Pumpkin this year – carved by DistantVisions. Great work!
Happy Halloween Everyone!
Flag of Honor & Flag of Heroes Project
Some gave all – We will never forget
FlagsOnCars.com is proud to partner with Annin Flagmakers, the official flagmakers for the Flag of Honor and Flag of Heroes project, in distributing these amazing flags. These two flags have been created in the sincere desire to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Each flag has been designed to honor and memorialize each person. Proceeds from the sale of these flags go to several charities, including The Voice of 9/11, The National 9/11 Museum at Ground Zero, and the Wounded Warrior Project.
This unique flag was created to honor all those who died in the 9/11 attacks. They are organized in the following way:
American Airlines Flight 11 – Starts on the first stripe, first line and includes 87 names.
American Airlines Flight 77 – Starts on the first stripe, fifth line and includes 60 names.
United Airlines Flight 175 – Starts on the first stripe, seventh line and includes 59 names.
United Airlines Flight 93 – Starts on the second stripe, third line and includes 40 names.
Pentagon – Starts on the second stripe, fifth line and includes 125 names.
World Trade Center – Starts on the third stripe, third line and includes 2,164 names.
Note: first responders are included on the Flag of Honor, but without their rank or affiliation.
This flag was created to honor all those first responders – fire fighters, police, EMS, and others – who ran in when everyone else was running out and, in doing so, gave all. This flag lists each first responder, their rank and their affiliation. You will find:
FDNY – 343 names
PAPD – 37 names
NYPD – 23 names
PANYNJ – 13 names
EMS – 10 names
OCS security – 3 names
NYSDFT – 3 names
Others – 19 names.
Both of these flags are amazing tributes to the men and women who so clearly embodied the American spirit that day. Consider flying or displaying this flag for the 10th anniversary this year!
Wear & Fly a Flag on 9/11
This year our country will remember and honor those whose lives were forever changed on 9/11/01 as we celebrate 10 years of recovery and patriotism.
FlagsOnCars.com has commissioned a limited edition 9/11 10th anniversary pin in honor of this memorial. We are proud to announce that these are now in stock and available for same-day shipping (like all our items) on orders placed before 3pm M-F.
We wanted, as well, to create a memorial event for people around the nation to show join together in honoring this day. If you would like to join with us in honoring 9/11 this year by wearing a flag pin or flying a flag to show that the American Spirit is unstoppable, RSVP to our Facebook event today! Our goal is to get One Million people committed to wearing or flying a flag on that day, so make sure to share this event with your friends as well.
Together we can show the world that the USA will never forget.
Share in the Patriotic Spirit! Fly a flag!
Today is a day that will, no doubt, live on in history. As the United States celebrates an end of an era of terror, join with us and our fellow citizens in flying the American Flag and remembering the victims of 9/11.
With the recent news of Osama bin Laden’s death, we find ourselves looking back over almost 10 years of remembering 9/11. It has truly been a long haul, and while this most recent news will never bring back those lost on 9/11, there is a feeling of some justice being done.
In honor of our long-serving men and women in uniform, and in remembrance of those lost on that fateful day so many years ago, Flags On Cars is offering a discount on purchases to our customers. Simply use the coupon code “OsamaDead” when you check out!
Join with us in the Patriotic Spirit and fly your flag today!
