This Month, We’re Celebrating The Honor Network

Pam Kennedy • Jul 07, 2022

The United States Honor Flag represents the service and sacrifice of America’s first responders and members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The United States Honor Flag’s origin began shortly after the attacks on September 11th, 2001. An American flag and a Texas flag were gifted to Chris Heisler from the Texas House of Representatives as a thank you for taking Texas first responders to Ground Zero. 


These flags traveled with Chris as he led the largest convoy of first responders in United States history to Ground Zero to provide support during that tragic event. 


The American flag that traveled with him to memorialize all the fallen heroes of 9/11 became known as The United States Honor Flag. It would ensure that the bravery and commitment of our heroes would never be forgotten. 


 The Honor Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was founded in 2008 on the conviction that every person who is committed in service to our communities and country deserves the support of every American, and that an increase in American patriotism is vital in keeping our great nation united.  This organization helps highlight the importance of respecting and honoring those who fight and protect our freedoms.


The United States Honor Flag has traveled to the battlefields of Iraq, Afghanistan, traveled aboard the last space shuttle launch in 2011 and has honored thousands of American heroes in Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and members of the U.S. Armed Forces.   Everywhere the United States Honor Flag travels, people respect it, salute it, and honor it so the memory of the people who serve and protect, including those who have gone before us, will never be forgotten.

Today, the United States Honor Flag travels in a Grand Design RV for all ground travel.  When ground travel is not feasible, the United States Honor Flag travels on United Airlines.   


What The Honor Network means to Gabe’s Pride


Gabe’s Pride respects and stands with The Honor Network. We, as a company, believe in their cause and support the journey of the United States Honor Flag as it travels around the U.S. to honor all the American heroes that were killed in the line of duty. 


The United States Honor Flag represents more than just the hope and freedom of our great country. It represents the American spirit and our willingness to continue on through hardships. It honors those who’ve passed away in the line of duty and supports those who still give their lives to keep people safe. 


We should always support those who keep us safe with their service and sacrifice. They put their lives on the line every single day. They go to work every shift, not knowing if they’re going to come back to their own families, and they do all this just to keep us safe. 


At Gabe’s Pride, we feel so touched to be a small part of all of this. We’re incredibly honored to be able to salute America’s heroes and pay respect to the sacrifice they make every day. 


We believe in the mission of The Honor Network to honor, educate and inspire everywhere they travel. We want to help inspire people, too, because we know how important the job of The Honor Network is. They are here to spread their passion and show American citizens that we will always keep fighting for what we believe in.



Our family values at Gabe's Pride are why we support the United States Honor Flag and donate a portion of all our sales to them.  Every penny donated goes to move the flag. The United States Honor Flag is always transported and handled with great care. Every time the United States Honor Flag is handled, custom white gloves are worn.  The United States Honor Flag is never touched twice with the same pair of gloves.  The gloves are gifted to the heroes' surviving family members.   


No matter how small a contribution is, Gabe’s Pride is happy to be able to pay our respects to the flag and to all the lives that were lost defending the country and those who live in it.
