Metal Art of Wisconsin’s Flags for Fortitude Program Honors American Heroes

America is a country built upon the bravery and noble acts of selflessness by ordinary people doing extraordinary things for others. Every day these anonymous heroes perform acts of courage and kindness, both big and small, that serve as an inspiration to all. From the Firefighters braving a house engulfed in flames to save a life or the everyday people who simply buy a meal for a hungry person in need.

Christopher Reeve once said, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”  Heroes surround us every day in our land of the free and home of the brave. Metal Art of Wisconsin created a Flags for Fortitude program specifically to honor the unsung men and women who may be your friends, your colleagues, your family members, or maybe someone you read about.
