3x5 December 7th USA Flag Flown On USS Arizona Memorial At Pearl Harbor

We needed a replacement for my dad's worn-out flag and after a wonderful trip to Hawaii I decided that the best way to commemorate it was to get this flag. My dad and my father in law both were in the service in WWII. We will be using it in our Northwoods home in Wisconsin.

My grandfather served at Pearl Harbor, and my husband and I were able to visit during our honeymoon. Because of this, it holds a special place in our hearts. We just bought a new home that has a flagpole and the first thing we did was purchase this flag. It was a nice to surprise to see that you could include your own wording on the certificate and we were able to honor my grandfather. The flag and certificate arrived so quickly and in great condition. It's a wonderful feeling to see every time we pull in our driveway and this particular flag gives even more meaning.

Loved the kit. I have set it up in my office. Thanks for your service and your unit.

I bought this flag for my brother who is a true patriot for Christmas. He was honored, so thankful and has it in a flag case on his memorial wall. Thanks for the incredible gift!

I reviewed twice and confirmed three times the wording on the certificate. Upon receipt, the certificate was incorrect. Very disappointed

When my son asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him for years I've had my eye on a flag flown over the USS Arizona memorial. I thought there wouldn't be any left from the December 7th 82nd anniversary so I was going to have one flown for my birthday next year but a visit to the site showed that I was wrong and that there still a few left! Item arrived just before Christmas and I'll be getting a display case to show it properly. What a great memento!

I recently purchased a United States flag that was flown on the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor National Memorial on December 7th, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I acquired this special flag as a gift for my cousin, Sgt. Bob Poulin, who served with the US Marines, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, in Vietnam '67-'68.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the prompt delivery of the flag. The significance of this token, which carries the weight of history and honors the brave individuals who have served our country, is not lost on me.

It is my intention to present this cherished flag to Sgt. Poulin in person when we vacation together on Kauai in July. The ability to offer such a meaningful and poignant gift is truly invaluable, and your service has made this possible.

Thank you for the exceptional service and the opportunity to bring a piece of history into the hands of a deserving veteran. Your commitment to honoring our heroes is commendable.

With gratitude,

Bob LaMontagne

I purchased my first flag when we visited the Arizona in 1999. When we need to retire a flag I always replace and dedicate a flag to someone special or to every man and woman who stands, or has died , for our flag. God bless everyone for what I have. Carol Davis

I placed my order two weeks ago and still have not received it. When I click the tracking number provided, it says a shipping label was created but USPS still has not received the package to ship. I have emailed and left a voicemail and gotten no responses. Please contact me so we can figure this out.

Father’s Day 2007 came and went,
And no call’s and no cards from either of my boys.

However, I wasn’t upset since both were in a combat zone. They had other priorities, and a note to the “Old Man” wasn’t at the top of their list. Not when life and death choices are being made.
On Monday, I got an E-Card from the younger son with an apology for being late. On Tuesday, my older son e-mailed me to tell me there was a shipping problem with the gift he had sent me and to be patient, since it was coming from the other side of the world.
A few weeks later, a box came in the mail with the return address and the customs form from Iraq stated: “Flag.” When I saw that, I thought he had sent me an Iraqi flag which would be unique, but upon opening the box, I found a United States flag perfectly folded into a triangle with only the blue and stars showing, as protocol dictates. At that point, my thoughts were it was nice to have a “Spare” stars and stripes to use at some point when mine was beyond serviceable.
Then I read the attached card. “This flag was flown at ‘Camp Ramadi’ on June 17th 2007. I thought you might enjoy it.” I realized it would never be a “spare” flag because I would never unfurl it again. I put it in a display case and proudly hung up in my hobby room, straight across from the door for all to see.
Through the years, I was always on the lookout for a special gift for him, but nothing ever seemed right until one day I found a website for the renowned ship “USS Arizona.” It’s a battleship that sank during the Japanese attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. We lost over 1,170 crewmen in the attack on that ship. On one page, you can order a flag flown over the memorial for some of the most popular holidays like “Memorial Day,” “Veterans Day,” “Thanksgiving,” “Pearl Harbor Day,” or whatever holiday or special day for the recipient that you prefer.
I picked out the size of flag that would suit the situation and the short dedication I wanted on the Certificate of Authentication. I chose his birthday of this year as the date. And like he did to me, I e-mailed him to say there was a “shipping problem” with his birthday gift and to be patient. It was on the way!
It took longer than I expected for him to receive it, but when he did, he called me right away. I knew who it was from the caller id on my phone, but no one on the other end of the line was talking. It took me a moment to realize he was there, but couldn’t speak from the emotions he was feeling. When I heard the ragged breathing and use of Kleenexes on his eyes, it affected me the same way.
For a couple of minutes, it was just two wary warriors, quietly connected over the phone and enjoying the other’s company.
