This display was to celebrate the naturalization of a local radio show host here in Springfield, Missouri.
I suppose Vincent David Jericho is posing like one of the flamingos that he discovered outside of KSGF 104.1 FM’s studio, but I kept hearing the Bangles’ “Walk Line an Egyptian” in my head.
In the photos with Vince is Kortni Williams, his producer/call screener/right-hand woman.
We set up the display Dec. 8, 2005, which was actually the day before Vince got his citizenship. KSGF had a reception for him that evening right next door at the Knights of Columbus hall here in Springfield, MO.
We had a time conflict here at AGreetingYard.com, so we had to make a snap decision — do we set up the display so he could see it in the morning and drivers could see it all day, or do we set up the display in front of the hall so it would be seen that evening? Well, our little time conflict solved the dilemma for us, and we went with putting it up the night before so passersby could view it all day.
This was the first time we had an opportunity to use American flags in a display, which made it even more exciting.
Some lawn greetings businesses across the country use American flag displays to welcome military folks home, and now that we have a bunch of flags, we think it would be a great thing to do as a show of support for our men and women in uniform.
Congrats again to Vincent David Jericho and family on their naturalization!
