Subdeacon Joe Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Another FB find. THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out the dimensions of the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in diameter, each Stripe is 30 feet wide. This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers. For our soldiers....

I'm guessing that Joe, being a smart man, cut and pasted as opposed to retyping all that, and that was in the original. Of course, I still don't know what it means, either.

Thanks Joe. Dang! You don't know either? You really let me down! I suspect that the person I borrowed it from had also done a cut and paste, but did an edit on the text and didn't redact all of a comment about keeping the chain going.

The company maintained it for a few years before they moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
