Flames Ok. Where is it?

I've been looking for my Flames Car Flag for quite some time now and have run out of options.

This is a "Special Flag". It was last flown in 2004. The year I divorced my first and met my second wife. Since then I've had children, prospered in my career and have generally been living the life I always dreamed of.

This Flag is symbolic. It represents to me how faith and perseverance can win the day.

I know one of you has it.

If you return it to one of the three houses I lived in since then. All will be forgiven.

Just buy a new flag for $10. The flag as you noted was symbolic, meaning a new flag can carry the torch and represent the same memories of its predecessor.

By the way, congrats on landing on your feet, moving forward and building a better life for yourself and your family. I as well have a similar story and understand line by line what you went through including the same results on the other side.

Best wishes bud.

I bought a a massive high quality flames flag in 2004 from dicks collectables in deer valley mall. I made the mistake of giving it to a friend a few years later. Worst decision ever.

Maybe it’s a sign? Last time you bought a flag the flames went to the cup final? Sounds like it’s time to buy a new flag!
