It really is a beautiful photograph.  It's worth a look see.

 

 2 1/2 hours north of Los Angeles.

 

Between the field 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.

Checkout the dimensions of the flag.

 

The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide

and maintains the proper Flag dimensions as

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and

Say a prayer for our servicemen. There is nothing

attached....

This can be very powerful....

 

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier,

Prayer is the very best one.
