About the
Veterans Service Flag
The Veterans
Service flag is a derivative of the Service flag (an official banner
authorized by the Department of Defense for display by families who
have members serving in the Armed Forces during any period of war or
hostilities).
After the United States became engaged
in the war against terrorism, the Service flag=s
popularity rebounded. Families across the nation began displaying
the Service flag again to honor and recognize their spouses,
parents, siblings or children serving in the Armed Forces.
Many Americans also wanted to show
their respect and appreciation to other patriotic Americans who had
previously served in the Armed Forces - especially to those who
served during a previous armed conflict. The Veterans
Service flag was created to distinguish and honor persons who have
faithfully served in the Armed Forces of the United States of
America.
The basic concept of the Veterans
Service flag is the same as the Service flag with distinct and
original symbolic modifications to clearly distinguish between those
who are actively serving during a current conflict, and those who
served previously in the Armed Forces.
