Order U.S. flags early because of delays

Current supply chain issues and ongoing production setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic are causing order shipment delays of U.S. flag orders from American Legion Emblem Sales.

As worn, tattered American flags need replaced, or as American Legion posts need flags to place on veterans' graves for Memorial Day, Emblem Sales advises to order early and please be patient with time of delivery due to the setbacks. Emblem Sales is shipping flag orders as soon, and quickly, as production is received.

The purchase of gravesite flags, as well as other outdoor American, military, POW/MIA and state flags, flagpoles and accessories can be made through American Legion Emblem Sales at americanlegionflags.com.
