A huge Flag Display in Brooklyn , Iowa was designed and created by me with the help and donation of all the 1436 citizens of the town in 1992.
To maintain and have replacement flags available a Community Flag store exists, with 10% of the proceeds available for the Flag Display. The store is staffed by volunteers, offering flags, poles, accessories, local crafts, antiques and collectibles.
The Display features an 80 foot pole flying a 20 x 38 foot US flag accompanied by sixty 25 foot flagpoles, flying 4 x 6 foot flags representing all the branches of the military, MIA, the coastguard and all 50 states. Additionally, there are thirty-five, 15 foot flagpoles downtown, with international Flags.
Shortly thereafter, I started a very successful flag and flagpole business, Heartland Flagpoles, Inc. Installing well over 500 flagpoles of various sizes and selling only US made flags in the Mid West. With this background I am starting all over again in Florida, selling, installing and repairing flags and flagpoles.
