Like the Thin Blue Line flag that honors America’s police, our wooden Thin Red Line flag is both a tribute and a reminder of the sacrifice-and the difference-made by our first responders. Flags of Valor’s Thin Red Line flag honors them, and especially those firefighters and other first responders who have been injured or lost their lives in the line of duty. But without the firefighters’ courage and skill, Flags of Valor and the other businesses sharing our building could have lost everything.Īs Americans, we owe these protectors a debt of gratitude for all they do, and all they stand ready to do at a moment’s notice. Thank God no one was hurt that day, and the damage to our workshop wasn’t crippling.
The blaze could have threatened the whole building, but our local Loudoun County Fire and Rescue responded fast. We also offer Custom Portrait frames, Canvas, Vinyl Decals, Monograms, Patriotic Decor, Apparel and much more. In the midst of absolutely terrifying moments, firefighters must overcome their anxieties and find the will to do their job. Redline Steel is a veteran-owned and operated business located in Huntsville, AL that manufactures customized steel sign wall art home decor with domestic raw materials that are proudly made in America. That fact was on my mind during the recent fire in our Flags of Valor workshop. The thin red line flag, also known as The Thin Red Line of Courage flag, symbolizes the courage that firefighters must summon within themselves when faced with the task of helping fire victims. Sometimes, they don’t make it back across that line to safety. Explosions, fires, floods, smoke, spills, crashes, heart attacks: against deadly odds, again and again, firefighters put their lives on that thin red line to rescue people, pets and property. What does the Thin Red Line mean? These selfless men and women have banded together to form a “thin red line” of protection between American communities and everything from West Coast wildfires to East Coast hurricanes. So do our nation’s firefighters, swift-boat rescue teams, paramedics and other first responders.
Combat veterans know what it is to serve outside the wire-beyond what’s safe.
