NT is VERY well represented in all of the military music groups... we probably have alums in almost all of them.

A pitiful representation of the Battle Flag...colors are awful.

25th Infantry Division.  Warriors!

Philip and I know each other.  I didn't know he had pursued his graduate degree and now this.  Very happy for him.

Agree, drex.

But on the other hand maybe it’s  like that old story Darrell Royal used to tell when he described how the pickens were extremely  slim for those in a small town when it came  time to ask a girl out to the prom?🤔

I applaud their wanting to display the flag...just wish they had a better source for it.

[DeepGreen]

Someone get me their military address and I'll send them a new flag.  Where can I purchase a new flag?

Have not checked recently. but Voertman's has the best ones. Thanks for taking on this project.

And here lies the ongoing problem at North Texas, that I believe is improving.  All of the above organizations and university divisions and it takes a post on a athletics' fan board for a poster to realize the issue and take care of it.  Someone, anyone at the university should be aware of things like this and send them a correct flag.

I'll pitch in for that effort.

Rudy,

Appreciate that but it's not necessary.  I just need to know who to order the flag from and where to send it to in Hawaii; military address for the 5th Infantry Band.

Could also be whatever filter they used for the photo from their phone.

Not sure where one would even buy a battle flag with those colors.
