HONOR & SACRIFICE FLAG

Unveiled on the 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks this flag was developed specifically to honor those fallen in all communities of public safety. The Honor and Sacrifice Flag allows all Americans to express a specific statement of thanks in memory of those who heroically gave their lives and to those family members who grieve their loss. We HONOR Their Selfless Service and Remember Their Individual SACRIFICE.
