What an absolute pleasure it was to have Retired Master Sgt. Jim Rodriguez present his inspirational and grand F.L.A.G. Program to our Rotary Club on August 9, 2019. Jim demonstrated the magnitude of impact the F.L.A.G. (Fly Low And Gather) program has upon our schools and community. F.L.A.G. is a non-profit organization founded in the Fall of 2010, dedicated to teaching school children the appropriate etiquette for respecting and handling the U.S. flag.
As founder and president of F.L.A.G., Jim’s mission is to “…instill patriotism and pride back into our schools, and to never forget those who fight for our freedom and this nation…” Jim's presentation was unquestionably as inspiring as it was historical. Jim not only served our country for 21 years in the U.S. Air Force, he also has 40 years of combined managerial/supervisory and teaching/training experience. His activities in our community are numerous, including frequent keynote and motivational speaking engagements to such events as the Dallas City Hall’s US Army’s Birthday Celebration, the Denton Civil Air Patrol, and the national organization “Dreamers” in Fort Worth, to name a few.
Jim was an articulate, vibrant speaker, imparting numerous tidbits of history and patriotism and we hope he will come back and speak to us again!
