"The flag travels to military families and our supporters alike. Many legions, school groups, and families of the fallen , injured and deployed receive the flag. There are no specific guidelines as it means something different for all. It only pertains to Afghanistan. It is brought to many legions for our veterans to sign, it comes with a journal, many of our injured write to say thank you to a family whose son or daughter may have held their hand, it is written in by families who want to share their experiences or what the flag means to them. It is designed for all to be shared by all. It has begun its journey in Newfoundland and will travel all over Canada. It is not a hugely publicized event, was never the intention. It is for us as Canadians to share our experiences. When it eventually comes home in 2011, all that have been involved will make a general consensus of where it will call home."
