Philly Flags Part II: Did you know that everywhere the president or vice president of the United States goes, they take a little piece of Northeast Philadelphia with them? True fact! The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Flag Room, located at the Naval Support Activity base in Oxford Circle, is the only place in the world authorized to make the official hand-embroidered presidential and vice presidential Flags used at press conferences, state visits, and other public and private functions. The Flag Room is also responsible for creating flags for the military and other branches of government. How did this prestigious task from nearly two centuries ago become a uniquely Philadelphia tradition? What inspires the Flag Room’s 13 embroidery artists to do their jobs with such painstaking care, even if their handiwork goes widely underrecognized? In the second installment of The Jawncast’s Philly Flags mini-series, Brian Seltzer toured the Flag Room to find out.
