I am interested in purchasing an American flag. How can I obtain one?
Our most popular type is 3'X5' all-weather nylon flags with double-stitched stripes and embroidered stars. They are a nice way to show your patriotism. We have several clients who return again and again for flags as wedding or Christmas gifts. This flag is available to you in exchange of a $30 minimum donation. Mail a check payable to AMVETS National Service Foundation 4647 Forbes Boulevard, Lanham, MD 20706.
