Paying it Forward
Flags for Vets, Inc.
Flags for Vets was formed on 2017 to honor our Nation’s veterans for their faithful service.
Yesterday we delivered a birthday present to U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, Ira Brewer.
Ira is our 737th recipient and newest member to the FFV family. PFC Brewer enlisted in the service to his country in Feb. 1966 and was discharged in Feb. 1968. He was a 13A-10 (artillery) assigned to 2/77th Battery C (25th ID) working out of Dau Tang but often forward deployed.
He was wounded in action by shrapnel from an exploded round in March (21st) 1967 while supporting operations at landing zone D.
Ira’s install was sponsored by his niece and her husband, Terry and Kelli Roberts. One of the many people I met a few weeks ago at the 9/11 memorial at Southern Union.

You already know who delivered the flagpole, so here’s the finished product.
A beautiful 30’ spun satin aluminum pole with a 6’x10’ U.S. flag to honor those who served.
Come see it in person at Goree’s Furniture on Hwy 169.
Thanks Drew Lufkin and Kyle Venable for the help.

Thanks again to my brother Jason Whitlow with Tiger Towing and Whitlow’s towing for delivering these big 30’ flagpoles to their destination.
It doesn’t matter what time or day or what day of the week, they always take care of me.
I appreciate you!

“Jamie is exactly what you would expect him to be, being a former Marine. This man is professional and very passionate about what he does. Thank you again Jamie”
“I can never thank you enough for what you did for 2 Vets who just can’t believe that a stranger cared enough for them to be made to feel special. Bless you both and thank you.“
“I love the support for our military!! What a great way to show veterans we will always care about them!”
“This is truly an embodiment of how committed veterans are to service as they themselves are often the ones planting the flags for others. An inspiration for all of us on how we should give our own skills and treasures to benefit the greater needs of others.”
