VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED
About Us
Our flags are handcrafted right here in the USA. We have the utmost respect for our military personnel, spouses and first responders. You are appreciated in our eyes and are the everyday Heroes in our communities. We are proud of what the flag stands for and the men and women who fought and died to defend it.
We stand for the national anthem to show our respect for those service men and women who paved the way for you and I to enjoy the freedoms we have each and every day. We make no apologies for this and we stand firm in our love of God and country.
The Journey
It all started when my wife and I were sitting on the couch watching tv when she leans over and shows me a picture of a wooden flag that she found on Pinterest and says: “Hey, check this out. We should get one.” I responded with: “That’s cool. I think I can make that.” And the journey began…
Two years later, multiple prototypes, countless hours of fine tuning and measuring, tweaking and handcrafting each and every detail - we finally have, what we believe, to be the best and highest quality wooden flags and concealment cases on the market today. Our attention to detail and our commitment to excellence is unmatched.
What’s unique about our flags, is they are not corporate cookie cutter flags. Each flag is made of recycled pallet wood giving each product a genuine distressed look and feel. Our flags will have holes, cracks and scars throughout.
We can all relate to these scars.
It means this flag has been through something and come out on the other side. It once was something that no-one wanted, but now is a beautiful piece of American pride that will bless your home for generations to come.
We have all been through something difficult in our life - do not let that define you.
Your journey, just like our flags, is not over…it’s just beginning!

Behind the Brand
Papa 3 is the military code name for the Periodic Maintenance Team 3 that deploys out of Malmstrom AFB, Montana. Shane was a part of this elite team. This unit is part of the framework made up of dedicated men and women who work to maintain the nuclear missile sites scattered all across the Montana landscape.
These ICBM’s keep our country deterrent from foreign nuclear threats. A very important and vital job to say the least.
The commitment to excellence and strict attention to detail needed to keep these missiles on alert is incorporated into the very fabric of our company, our flags, and what we stand for as an organization.

A special THANK YOU to the men and women who work and maintain this weapon system at this very hour. I know the hard work and discipline it takes to do this job. The men on my team, the men of Papa 3, not only became my friends - they became my brothers.
Know that you are appreciated. Know that many have come before you and many will come after you. Working in the missile field saved my life. Maybe one day I’ll get to tell you that story. Until then…
Keep your two man, try not to get jacked up and when you get to the MAF - order me a cheeseburger and fries. Thanks fellas.
