"Neither would I (burn the flag); but I wouldn't make some hokey hot-air balloon out of it, either"

You're certainly making everyone on this "list" aware of your point of view.

The 8th, 11th, 12th & 13th will be spent partying! We may also take both balloons to Red Rock Canyon on the 13th to fly in the canyon. It is supposed to be awesome. Great photo op...

BTW- I just bought a new video camera, a professional one. It is really cool.

Thanks, dixie.

I am not going to get kicked off of FReeRepublic for telling AlaskaJerk what I really think of him/her and his/her pitiful post about the US FlagBalloon, so I'll show my contempt by turning my back on him/her.

AlaskaJerk! You have been dissed!

Thank you. What makes this worthwhile, is all of the people that appreciate it.

Bump for the Balloon and for VetsCoR's newest director, Taxman.

Are you still getting you pocket Constitutions from the same source? We'd like to find another which would print our logo on the cover. As of now we apply stickers over the National Constitution Center logo.

Not only is he your newest director, he is the Crew Chief on Patriot!

Patriot is the one on the left...

As far as Constitutions, we have been getting a variety of them from different people. The DC Chapter gave us a box last year at CPAC and our local Congressman gave us a box too.

They even launched one off a ship during the civil war, they played a role, just do a google search, I'm sure it will fill you with pride:)

When you have time, could you look for a printer name somewhere in the pamphlet? The NCC booklets don't provide one

That Taxman guy sure gets around...;). But what a comedown...from Naval Aviator carrier pilot to ground crew? Ha! Now's he's on my Navy level.

Gonna be in Southern California or Arizona any time?

Now that VetsCoR has tax-exempt status, we can do some serious fund-raising get you at one of our events/projects.

Have a great flight or glow, and I appreciate your 3 dimensional flag. I can't believe a Veteran would object to such a wonderful display and mission. Unless, he's a veternarian.
