Happy Flag Day: The World Peace Flag Garden

 

 

Yesterday was Flag Day in the United States. In the Odaesan sim, there's a place with a lot of them, and for free. It's the World Peace Flag Garden in Odaesan (81/151/42). I found many dozens of flags, not just of the USA and Canada, but also state and provincial ones, and flags from around the world from major nations to numerous tiny ones.

Happy Flag Day: The World Peace Flag Garden

 

In the United States, it is Flag Day in the United States.There are some flag stores in Second Life. But there is also a place where one can get flags, and flag-themed clothes, for free. They're at the World Peace Flag Garden in the Odaesan sim.

Free  flags of all nations.  Hand-held, modifiable for your build.  Free patriotic swim trunks, gym shorts, speedos, shirts.  Camping for world peace.  In Second Life, good people of all nations meet in friendship.

The place has flags of just about every nation in the world, including a few places not officially recognized as countries. They are grouped by continent. There's also boxes where you can get flags of American states and Canadian provinces, some American cities. You can also get the Confederate and Pride flags. Many of the country flags come with themed items of clothing, such as caps, jackets, and swimsuits.

The Flag Garden is owned by Edd Thor, who also has the Thor's Oak Christian Men's Center next door.

Ukrainian Flags Flying Over Second Life

 

Since we last wrote about the reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine by various residents, much more has happened. Far more than can be described in a brief article. But we can show examples of one simple way of showing support, erecting flags. At Milmerana on the mainland, I saw this replica of the Eiffel Tower sporting Ukrainian flags.

I would continue to see more of the gold and blue as I drove on. 

Checking out the new Linden Homes, one of the new homeowners was showing his support as well.

And the Newser is also showing it's support. Gemma Cleanslate found this banner, which now hangs on the side of the building.

Stay tuned for more news about the reaction of Second Life's residents to the attack on Ukraine.

World Peace Flag Garden

This Fourth of July, there are a number of places one can get an American flag. But there's one that not only allows you to get one for free, but also flags of most of the nations of the world, each of the fifty United States, Canada's provinces, and some international and movement flags. It's the World Peace Flag Garden, and it offers them for free.

Free  flags of all nations.  Hand-held, modifiable for your build.  Free patriotic swim trunks, gym shorts, speedos, shirts.  Camping for world peace.  In Second Life, good people of all nations meet in friendship.

Most every nation is represented here. There's also flags for a number of territories and islands. Some places in the news in recent years, such as Kosovo and Hong Kong, are represented. Some are not recognized by all, such as Taiwan and Northern Cypress. And there's Nepal's double-triangle. There's also a box with a modifiable flag and various textures of American Indian flags. Another box has various "Pride" flags.

The place is owned by Edd Thor, whom also owns the Thor's Oak Christian Men's Center (aka Men's Recreation Center and Chapel) next to it. There, one can pick up some free clothes, skins, and jewelry.

The Flag Factory

With Canada Day and the Fourth of July just around the corner, Residents from the United States and Canada may want to get a flag to help celebrate. While you could shop around on Marketplace, one place inworld you can get on is the Flag Factory at the Made in Paris sim.

Dropping in, one will be surrounded by banners of many kinds. The store boasts, "More than 400 countries and topics with 14 styles of flagpoles : hand-held to huge." The sizes most vendors offer are 4m 10m 23m, hand-held, and "street." There are also "conference" and "ultimate" packs one can purchase for extra cash. The ones of the latter two for the United States are showcased with their own vendors. Besides the standard US flag, one can also get a weathered "Old Glory" or a combination US and Texas flag. The store also offers a Canada and Quebec flag combination. I was told that the store is offering hand-held US flags for a limited time.

There are flags of just about every nation on the planet, and for individual US states, Canadian provinces, and French localities. There are also flags for holidays, flags for personalities such as Michael Jackson and Nelson Mandela, pirate flags, gay pride flags, even a gay pirate flag, castle flags, and more.

Some residents may recall the controversy about the Confederate flag a couple years ago. While it has been largely taken down from Marketplace, one can buy it here. However, I couldn't help but notice where it was placed, right next to the Cuban and Venezuelan flags, two countries with noble people, but repressive governments. Perhaps coincidence. Perhaps a subtle statement of some kind.

Independence Day USA at "The Corner"

 Looking for those flags and banners for July 4? USA is commemorating its Birthday which occurred in 1776 when we became a free nation. To celebrate in real-life, there will be parades, picnics and lots of fireworks! Flags will be raised high and banners across the roads. We in the US call it the Fourth of July.

To celebrate in SL, you need some decor. Vickijo Rivera had her creators gather some wonderful flags and balloons and other decor for your homes  at the Corner of Revolving time for you. They are all free! Just take a trip over to Ophelia sim and grab them. Step inside too to check out the rooms and rooms of furniture.  All these goodies were put here by Pink Josephina and Zain Darkwatch for your  taking.  

 

Also take a look to the right side of the building for your summer beach towels and umbrellas and then run over to the left where you will find tents and fires for your camping. As you pass by on your way to the tents pick up a great picnic table with seating for four. As usual all these are free. You can hang out on the beach too, or visit the wedding shop at the mall.
