I had to reach out to them and get their permission to use and tell their incredible story. SnapLock proud enough to fly the American flag. SnapLock is also proud to make all their products here in the great USA. An article on their website stating, truly made in U.S.A caught my eye.

Driving down the road I notice an American flag flying at Astro Outdoor Advertising. I remember Astro signs. I have notice them form many years. when I go to local area stores and businesses and see the signs that where made by this company.
Go to their website www.astreosignco.com. They have a very interesting history and a lot of samples of their great work. You will see on their website that they offer many services. Billboard advertising, production, design, installation, maintenance, digital printing and more. Oh and by the way, they offer Flags and flag poles. Click on the installation on their site and see Astro working on one of their customers who is Franklin Trailers and you will see Franklin’s American flag flying in the back ground.
What an interesting businesses, think about it, a business needs a sign or a billboard to advertising and of course American flags and flag poles.
On Astro website they mention some good advise to businesses. They say for billboard advertising Outdoor advertising has a lower cost per thousand than any other type of advertising. 80% less than TV commercials, 60% less than newspaper ads and 50% less than radio. As a business you going have to think about advertising. Advertising on a billboard may not be a bad idea.

Original Great American Steak
I was in El Paso,Texas again for a few weeks. As I was there we stop at a Steak restaurant. As we pulled up to the restaurant the first thing I notice was American Flags flying in the outside dining area. I took some pictures of the outside area. We walked inside and order a steak burger because it was just too hot outside in Texas in July. Original Great American Steak are know for their steaks and steak burgers. I ordered their well known steak burger, and to my surprise I was served a juicy burger with a little American flag.
Yes, an American Flag sighting on my steak burger.
If you go to their web site www.originalgreatamerican.com you can read their about us page where you can learn how they are family own company and their company history. While you are on their website look at their menu. If you are in the area check them out, very good food with a great view.
A great place for family, great food and a great view from the Franklin Mountains.
I can drive around and see many diners with American Flags flying but usually not restaurants. I only have one post of a diner flying the American flag because I was just starting to post American Flag Sighting and that was a diner near my home town
Just another example of a great American business and proud enough to fly American flag. well in this case flying many American Flags.
American Flags Along Route 26
Along Route 26
Driving along Route 26 headed to the beaches in Delaware I noticed all the American flags Flying in front of businesses not because it’s Fourth of July but because these businesses fly proudly all year long. 
American Flags Flying Along Route 26
From small a small Deli named Ocean view Deli to condo’s I passed by the usually flag flying businesses like fast food restaurants, car lots and Banks. But I love seeing the hundreds of other small businesses of American Flags along Route 26. I wish I could stop and get a history of their business. How they got started and what or who inspired them.
Wecom inc proudly flying American flag
WECOM inc a sheet metal fabrication and a laser cut company. Proudly flying an American flag.
Tuck in the corner of a little side street about a block from a small town post office in New Jersey, I notice an American flag flying. It wasn’t a Government building like a Fire or Police Department but was hard to see from where I was. After my business in the post office I took a drive down that little side street.
There it was, I forgot all about this company. According to their website Wecom Inc was started in 1961. WECOM inc is a precision sheet metal fabrication company. Some are their work includes aerospace, food, electronic, railroad and many more. Here’s a link to their about me page so can see the work they specialized in. Wecom inc, proud enough to fly the American Flag.
I spoke to an employee who has been at this company going on 24 years who is CAD guy. He said that Wecom is own by 2nd generation family. Two brothers own now started by their father in 1961. There you have it someone had a vision or need or just a desire to take a chance and start their own company. This person was able to past it down to his kids.
Just another example of American engineering and entrepreneurship. A company likes this bring jobs into this small town which in returns brings revenue to the town.

Boat Business in the Desert
A Boat Business in the Desert
You know the old saying, want to buy beach front property in the desert? Well what about a boat business in the desert? As I was at Elephant Butte, New Mexico I notice another business proudly flying their American flag. there in the middle of vast miles of New Mexico’s terrain ( desert is what it looks like to me) sits a small boat business.
Boating is popular at the Elephant Butte reservoir so somebody had had to start a business for boat repairs and marine shop. See the flag proudly flying at this business?
An Inspiration quote from Michael Jordan
