The Only Flag That Doesn't Fly Over America

Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles
of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flower
are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to
Vandenberg AFB.

Check out the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet
long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions,
as described in Executive Order #10834.

This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted
with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24'
in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to
contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants, with 4-5 flower stems
each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer
for our servicemen. There is nothing attached. Just send this on
to all you can.
