With Operation Finally Home (OFH) & Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) we have honored 42 & 35 of the deserving Veterans they have honored with a mortgage free home with more to come as the homes are built. We have followed up on the Fox Nation American Patrlots Award honorees of last 11/16/23 from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashvile with flags for Preston Sharp of Redding, CA, Tracy Harden, and Andy Negra of Sautee, GA.
On Friday, March 1, 2024, we were invited to Nashville, TN, to present APFGAC flags to the five police officers who responded so quickly to the shooting at the Covenant Christian School in March of 2023.
We have provided the Congressional Medal of Honor Society with our FGAC caps to be given to every living recipient of the CMOH. Also, with the CMOH Society, one of our flags will be displayed in the USS Yorktown Museum, stationed on Patriot’s Point in Charleston, SC.
Our Partners
We are proud to partner with Hero’s Bridge, Homes For Our Troops, and Operation Finally Home. As an ongoing project, we are extremely proud of our affiliation with Operation Finally Home through their Franklin, TN office and with Homes For Our Troops in Taunton, MA. Together they have honored over 850 deserving Veterans with a mortgage free home. When they dedicate and present the keys to a mortgage free home to a deserving Veteran and his or her family, one of our APFGAC flags is donated and presented also. We are grateful for the work that both Operation Finally Home and Homes For Our Troops have done in building so many mortgage-free homes for deserving veterans and their families.
Our Supporters
Please note, all of this has been accomplished with donations from American Patriots and Patriotic organizations. As individuals and corporations, they all know how much these Veterans sacrificed to keep this Nation free. They all served with honor, valor and distinction.
We hope you will consider making a donation so that we can continue our flag presentation Program. We strive to serve as many Veterans as possible when they move into their new home Mortgage Free!
Do you know a Veteran who has served? Maybe a family member or friend. A flag or any of our other gift items would be a great way for them or for you to display your own love of Country & Patriotism.
We look forward to the day when homes across the Nation will honor our American heritage and all who have served. Be PROUD! Be an AMERICAN PATRIOT! You don’t have to be a veteran to be Patriotric!
YOU’RE INVITED TO CONTINUE TO SHOP, DONATE & HONOR ALL WHO HAVE SERVED!
