A while back, **Tripler** , via **paperbackwriter** , offered to send US flags which flew on combat missions to Dopers who requested one.

Mine came today. It was flown on a mission in an F-15E Strike Eagle by Maj. James “JJ” Jinnette and Capt. Trinidad “Moses” Meza, and came with two certificates, one of which was signed by both Maj. Jinnette and Capt. Meza.

Very cool, indeed.

That is very cool.

Wonders what the value of it on Ebay would be.

Kidding!
