Here is G2TT's suggested list of banners and flags to send to our troops:
State Flags
Many troops ask for flags from our donors' states. Sometimes they will fly them at their base or take a photo of their unit holding the state flag. Often troops are amazed to see support coming from all over the United States and from States they may have never been to before.
City Flags
City flags are very unique and carry a lot of history. Below are examples of just 2 city flags: Can you guess which cities they are from?
Sports Team Flags
So many of our troops have their favorite sports teams. They can't watch the Superbowl or the World Series, and they miss seeing their favorite teams playing year-round. Often, they'll often ask us to send banners of their favorite sports team to decorate their tents or buildings. Maybe you have a few to spare?
College & University Team Flags
So many of our troops have their favorite colleges and college sports teams. They love pennants and banners from the universities and colleges! They love college ATTIRE (tees, sweats, etc.) too!
Organization Banners
Many of our troops belong to organizations back home: Kiwanis, Rotary, Knights of Columbus, Lions, American Legion and others. Why not send your club or organization's banner to show your support?
Company Flags and Banners
So many of our troops receive donations from companies all over the United States. Why not have everyone in your business sign a banner and we'll pack it inside one of the care packages we send over!
School Flags - Elementary, Middle and High Schools
Troops love to hear from children! If your school sends us a banner we'll make sure it gets over to the troops in combat ... you might even hear back from them!
Scout Flags -Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts - all ages
Many of our deployed troops were once Scouts themselves. They'd love a banner from your troop or council!
Homemade Banners
Sometimes the best morale boosters are signs and banners made by private citizens ...
Please mail your banners and flags to any of our branches
