The flag lapel pin became a Presidential Tradition beginning with Richard M. Nixon when suggested by his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, who got the idea from Robert Redford while watching his movie, "The Candidate". The wearing of the flag pin became hugely popular following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 1991 and spread very quickly through the general public ranks. The Presidential tradition continued until President Obama, who stopped wearing his but resumed after succumbing to pressure. He now wears one daily. Use as giveaways for students, employees, teams, scouts, groups and so on.

My partner was the original owner and I am selling as a result of his passing. They have been properly stored for 24 years, in a smoke free home, never worn or displayed. Ships insured with tracking via USPS.
