A submission from Rich Witt

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....

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and 
say a prayer for our servicemen.
