Ebay Flag Auction to benefit OPERATION Hug-A-Hero

Veterans Day is only a few days away. Wednesday November 11, 2009.   You can help make this day even more memorable  for a Special Friend or Loved one who is a Veteran , Patriot or Flag Collector by participating in an EBay auction to support OPERATION Hug-A-Hero.

We have been provided with a very special  opportunity to help raise attention to the OPERATION Hug-A-Hero mission while also being able to pay tribute to all of our Veterans all across the globe. We would like to call your attention to the information below regarding an EBay Auction that started this week and will continue until approximately 10:00 PM on  Veterans Day.

This is a very Special Flag, and while the specific details of where it is going to be flown are a SECRET, we know that whomever is the wining  bidder will be pleased with the historic nature and value of this collectible item of our Military History. On top of that, the proceeds will go to OPERATION Hug-A-Hero.  That means that we will be able to help  reach-out to many more children in need.  We are hoping that the bidding  will continue to increase as word spreads of this great item and the great cause that it will support.

Every $30.00 that we can bring in allows us to help (1) child.  A $300.00 bid will allow us to help about 10 children, $500.00 would help over 16 and $1000.00 dollars will help over 30 children.  No matter the amount of the final bid, know that your thoughtfulness will go to help a very worthwhile cause and every time you look at the Flag and the Certificate in your name, you will be proud to own a piece of history and will know that you helped a lot of Military family’s and put a smile on the face of a young child in the process!

We would be honored if you bid on this SPECIAL Flag as a tribute to our VETERANS. It would be great  if you could also pass this article or link on to a friend or relative who might be interested.

Thanks from Team OPERATION Hug-A-Hero

EBay Auction Item number: 180426880681

Bid on an American Flag flown proudly over one of the most historically-significant overseas military installations in celebration of all those who have served our nation.

• Flag will be flown on Veterans Day.

This is not any Flag; but one that will be flown on a US Military Base that is located overseas in a location with significant historical merit.   The Flag is a standard 5 x 8 Flag that will be flown on Veterans Day November 11, 2009.

Once the Flag has been flown, a Certificate will be issued identifying the Time, Location and Place that the Flag was flown and Signed by a Commission US Military Officer.   We have arranged to have the Certificate held until the 15^th, so that we can determine the winner of the Auction. That individuals name will then be put on the Certificate, which will then be Formally Signed and Framed, notifying all that The Flag was flown for this person(s) on behalf of OPERATION Hug-A-Hero.

The Flag will then be Expertly Folded by US MARINES, the procedure photographed and the Flag will then be inserted into a Flag Presentation Case and sealed.

The Flag/Case Framed Certificate and (2) Photos of the Flag Folding Ceremony will then be packed and shipped to the United States office of OPERATION HUG-A-HERO, where it will then be FED-EX Ground to the winner.

Please expect 2-3 weeks delivery at completion of the Auction due to shipping from the overseas location.

OPERATION Hug-A-Hero would like to provide a special thanks to the Team at Goin Postal, in New Port Richey, FL for setting up and running the auction for us. They have kindly donated their services to support the OPERATION Hug-A-Hero cause.
