Irving shows their support for the war in Ukraine by flying the largest Ukrainian flag in Texas.
DALLAS, Texas — Symonds Flags and Poles in Irving, Texas is showing a big sign of support for Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February. Red, white and blue threads normally used to make the Texas and American flag have been temporarily shelved, in order to sew a surge in demand for Ukrainian flags.
Symonds said a new sense of patriotism can be felt as people work day and night to thread bright yellow and blue threads together in order to make a flag representing the country of Ukraine. For Symonds and many others the Ukraine flag has become a worldwide symbol standing in sovereignty for democracy.A 40 by 60 foot flag of Ukraine waves in the air along highway 183, just south of DFW Airport.
"We already had the flag poles up, the least we could do was fly the flag to show we stand with them," said Chase Cooley, Clay's brother.
