4 Shop Online for U.S. Flags

In 1994, Goodwill South Florida began manufacturing flags for the United States Government, commercial flags, and the Interment Flag. Regarded as the most important flag produced, the interment flag is draped over the casket of those who served our country with honor, and is presented to the veteran’s family in appreciation for the veteran's service to our nation. This flag is also the most difficult to produce and requires the highest attention to detail.

We are recognized as producing the finest flags, especially made with love and respect by people with disabilities and other barriers to work.

You can purchase commercial flags made by Goodwill South Florida on our website:

  • The American Flag
  • Veterans Interment Flag
  • POW/MIA families Flag
