As some of you know, I have not been taking orders for Service Flags for the past months due to a medical situation. I hope to begin taking limited commissions for both Gold and Blue Star Service Flags in 2011. It is very gratifying to know that many of you have been waiting patiently for these flags, but for the time being I am recommending that anyone wanting an outdoor Blue or Gold Star Service Flag contact Service Flags.Com (www.serviceflags.com) of Reno, Nevada. Feel free to check back here for further upddates...Richard R. Gideon

FACTS, INFORMATION, AND COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO DISPLAY SERVICE FLAGS? CLICK HERE

• WHAT SIZE IS APPROPRIATE?  CLICK HERE
  (Note: Service Flags are required by DoD regulations to have an aspect ratio of 1:1.9.  All of our Service Flags meet Department of Defense Regulations)

• MANUFACTURING AUTHORITY AND SPECIFICATIONS:

  • (2)  A certificate of authority to manufacture and sell the service flag or the service lapel button will be granted only upon agreement in writing by the applicant that he will not deviate in the manufacture or sale of the approved official service flag or service lapel button as described herein - from DoD Directive 1348.33

  • (3)  Drawings and instructions for the service flag and the service lapel button will be provided to manufacturers with the issuance of their certificate of authority - from DoD Directive 1348.33

• If you would like to see the complete regulations, and RRGF's listing as an official licensee, CLICK HERE (courtesy of the Department of Defense, THE INSTITUTE OF HERALDRY)

• NAMES AND SERVICE BRANCH EMBROIDERED ON SERVICE FLAGS.  The patterns supplied by the Department of Defense DO NOT include provision for a name or branch of service, and therefore RRGF does not place names or branch of service on our Service Flags

• WHY DON'T YOU SELL A 3' X 5' SERVICE FLAG?  Because a 3' x 5' flag does not meet the requirements for an aspect ratio of 1:1.9.  The DoD DOES NOT specify a size - what IS specified is a ratio, and that ratio is 1:1.9.  A 3' x 5' flag presents an aspect ratio of 1:1.67 and therefore does not meet the specifications provided by the DoD

PLEASE NOTE: REGULATION SERVICE FLAGS and BUTTONS are authorized to be displayed by the following:
1348.33 Volume 3, 15.b.(1).(a) Members of the Immediate Family. Includes wife, husband, mother, father, stepmother, stepfather, parent through adoption, foster parents who stand or stood in loco parentis, grandparents, children, stepchildren, children through adoption, brothers, sisters, half brothers, and half sisters of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces.
