Orphan Brigade flag on a stick

Some guy named Jim at Ruffin flags is working to have the Orphan brigade flag available in a 12 by 18 inch flag stick and probably a 4 by 6 inch stick. I don't work for them, but told him I would try to promote this idea where I could. He offered to order some if I ordered $288 dollars worth, but I did not commit. Maybe if more people offered to buy some it would be available in this size. Polk and Missouri cross flags are available in a stick flag, but not the orphan Cross. The Orphan cross is available in 3 by 5 feet, butnot a stick flag. I think our beautiful Kentucky southern Cross should be available on a stick for the people of our reat state to wave around and enjoy. I bet if we contacted Ruffin and got it going it could become as popular as it should be. It could be resold to people at Kentucky reenactments for just a few bucks. War enthusiasts ans people with Orphan brigade descendants would buy it, and Kids would want a stick flag too. Christians might really enjoy the beatiful cross flag. People don't buy 3 by 5 foot flags as much because they are too big. Maybe this flag would take off in a stick flag size. . It would still be great for Our state's battle cross to be seen in the hands of people with Orphan ancestors and all Kentuckians. If you want to help make this happen contact Jim @ 706-678-1342. His e- mail is ruffinflagJim@ yahoo.com.
Take care!!
