Show Us Your Red, White & Blue Contest

The “Flag Still Stands For Freedom Veterans Day Telethon” has three reasons for being on the air.  The first, and by far most important, is to recognize and honor our veterans.  In doing this we also highlight and raise money for many of the charities that support them.

The second reason is to encourage people to fly their flags as a symbol of their support for this country and the men and women who protect it.

Thirdly we want this telethon to be a joyous celebration.  A celebration of freedom and the American way of life.  That is why we are bringing so many great entertainers on to help us have a good time.

What better way to combine all three than to have a contest.  Competing and winning prizes certainly is fun and a contest that encourages people to honor our country and its veterans by flying their flag is a perfect addition to this show.

If you want to be an active part of this telethon, then Show Us Your Red, White and Blue!  We want all of you to proudly display your flags between now and the time of the Telethon, then keep them flying through Veterans Day.  If you decide you want to continue to fly it forever, well, that’s all right with us!

All you have to do to enter is to take a picture of your flag out where folks can see it, and send it to us at laurakennedylive@gmail.com.  Your name will then be entered in our drawing which will be held during the LIVE event on November 6th.  The deadline for getting your picture in is November 5th.

We are going to love seeing your pictures but there is no prize for most, or biggest, or cutest kid holding a flag.  The best portrait will stand an equal chance with the simplest snapshot.  Also, while we would love to see your vintage patriotic pictures, the purpose of this contest is to get you to show off Old Glory today for our veterans to see as they pass by.  We want a picture of what you are currently doing to honor our flag.

The prize for the contest will be a gift basket of items donated by our telethon guests and entertainers, so here is a chance for you to get a souvenir from some of your favorite stars.  Considering the quality of our lineup, all of them will be items you will be proud to own and show off.

We know that the real prize for you is the lump in your throat you get when you see you flag flying in your front yard or even on proud display on your desk at work. Maybe you will become an inspiration to others to fly their flag as well.

We hope that flags will go on display all across this great country from city skyscrapers to farmer’s fences.  The real way to win this contest is to be able to look around you and see flags up everywhere and to know you are a part of this outpouring of love for country.

Don’t forget to listen to the Veterans Day Virtual Telethon on Saturday, November 6th, where we will announce the winner of the contest.  If you miss it, then you can always come back to this website where winners’ names will be posted.

Gather your friends & neighbors and together start hanging those flags where they can be seen with honor and pride!  Here are 2 places that I personally have ordered supplies from and have always been more than satisfied (I am not an affiliate for either one of the these companies).

The Veterans Flag Depot is your best choice for American Made Flags and Flagpoles at wholesale prices. When quality and value is necessary, choose the Veterans Flag Depot.

The U.S. Flag Store has amazing quality and drop bottom prices with a quick turnaround time.

If along the way, you run into flags that need to be properly destroyed and your a bit unclear as to what exactly “properly” means, recommend you refer back to our previous blog entry for help!!!
