| University of Texas at Arlington | ||

Like many universities, the University of Texas at Arlington boasts of a diverse campus, and this university can truly support its claim. Prior to 2006, UTA’s Nedderman Hall contained 123 flags, one for each country of origin for every student that passed through the school's engineering department. When it became necessary to remove the flags and replace them with something else Lone Star worked with the university and developed the perfect idea to keep tradition alive, while staying sensitive to international concerns. Lone Star created hand sewn banners to represent each country. These banners now hang proudly in Nedderman Hall. |  |

Bedford, Texas – Lone Star Banners and Flags was called upon by the Patriot Guard Riders to help a retired U.S. Air Force veteran protect his right to fly the Stars & Stripes. After thieves stole his American flag for the ninth time from his front yard, Lone Star stepped in and donated a new flag pole with a concealed and locked halyard to discourage anyone from attempting to steal the veteran’s precious flag again.
Here General Mayes and Lone Star's Fort Worth General Manager, Mark Buechele, hoist the first flag on the General's new flag pole. |

Sometimes setting the mood begins long before you arrive at the event. That's what they wanted at the 2008 Colonial Invitational Tournament at historic Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
The city streets of downtown Fort Worth were lined with the images of the players competing for the coveted Colonial title, adding to the excitement and stature of the annual event. |

| Houston Downtown Management District |
 |
Houston, Texas - When the Houston Downtown Management District wanted to emphasize how Houston has become a strikingly diverse city with tons to offer, Lone Star Banners and Flags helped design 600 banners to canvass the downtown area.
The Houston Downtown Management District wanted the banners to last for three years, which is a long time for a flag or banner to be flown twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
This was no problem for the pros at Lone Star. They recommended a more durable vinyl, reinforced pole hems and grommets, all the way down to the number of stitch lines and type of thread to maximize the durability and lifespan of the product. Lone Star finished up the project by printing, finishing and installing the banners all around town. |
