FABRIC -- International Award-Winning Portfolio by Michael Knapstein
For some, a flag is simply a piece of fabric. For others, it is part of the very fabric of their community.<br />
 <br />
Here in the rural American Midwest, the flag remains an often-seen and highly-respected symbol of freedom, national pride and history. It is a powerful emblem of a common heritage. A symbol for which the support is often unwavering, regardless of which way the political winds may blow. <br />
  <br />
In small towns and villages throughout the Midwest, the American Flag is both a reminder of the past and a promise for the future. While it may appear in many different forms and locations, for many it remains a universal icon that represents a shared pursuit of the American Dream. <br />

The American Flag is a part of fabric of the rural Midwest.
