FACTS, INFORMATION, AND COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO DISPLAY SERVICE FLAGS? CLICK HERE

  • WHAT SIZE IS APPROPRIATE?  CLICK HERE
    (Note: The Service Flag and Service Window Banner are required by DoD regulations to have an aspect ratio of 1:1.9.  All of our Service Flags and Window Banners 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

 SERVICE STREAMERS

RRGF is offering Service Flag Families an opportunity to purchase the same GWOT, IRAQ or AFGHANISTAN military streamers used by the military on their flags to denote campaigns.  These come in 2 3/4 x 48, 2 3/4 x 36, and 1 3/8 x 24 sizes.  It is not illegal for civilians to own such items, and we have a ruling letter from The Institute of Heraldry (TIOH) which so states.  Veterans often purchase them.  We do, however, control the sale of these items.  

Please note that military campaign streamers are not cheap.  They are made of a special Rayon material and fully embroidered.  They are exactly the same streamers we supply to military units through our MILITARY STREAMER division.  Prices depend upon the size and service.  PHONE ORDERS ONLY - CALL FOR PRICING AND DETAILS:  412-276-7689
