This month, the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus in Wimberley, TX hosted the Emergency Responder Appreciation Lunch (ERAL), and our Eagle Mountain Flag and Flagpole family had the privilege of being a part of it and donated our First Responders t-shirts. Through the efforts of The Knights of Columbus, they were able to feed well over 120 Emergency Responders and others from all over the county! It was the Knights’ way of saying thank you to all the folks who take care of our community in the Wimberley Valley.

In recent years the Thin Line style flags have risen to popularity, starting with the Thin Blue Line flag. The eye-catching black and white American flag with a thin colored line running across it is a beautiful way to support the everyday heroes in our community. The colored stripe symbolizes the thin line between the public and the danger they hold at bay.

In addition to the police, there are other public service branches that have adopted thin line colors of their own. Flying a thin line flag shows support for the associated service branch. Here is a simple breakdown of what each color thin line represents.
