Flag flown in Iraq in Mustang's honor

Joe Farkas sent Mustang Sally an email with a very unique request. In Joe's own words:

"I am an active duty (Army) Soldier and have been for the last 20 years. I am stationed in Alexandria, VA and recently returned from Iraq (for the second time). While I was over there another soldier turned us onto the "Mustang Sally" CD. We all loved it and listen to it constantly. We decided to fly a U.S. flag for the band over our camp in Iraq in hopes that when we returned we would be able to meet & present it to the band. Myself & 4 of my Army buddies will be riding our Harleys to "Gettysburg Bike Week" and would like to present the band with the flag & certificate."

Before our Gettysburg show we were able to meet with them. We were so honored when they presented us with the plaque and the actual flag that was flown. Then we rode to the stage in style--from the hotel to the venue we each hopped on the back of one of their Harleys and were dropped off at the stage. Too cool! Thank you to Joe, Rich, Todd, Tracy, John, Mike & his wife Eula for making our Gettysburg bike weekend so memorable.
