Patriotic Windsock
Great for any patriotic holiday. This Patriotic Windsock is presented in red, white and blue, and is perfect to honor all branches of the service. Have the kids show our service people still on active duty. as well as those veterans who have retired, that we appreciate what they do to keep us safe.
Trivia: On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days. The single day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense.
