As the civilian population suffers in Ukraine, the flags of yellow and blue are billowing across this country. Flag manufacturers in Suffolk County tell McLoganTV the humanitarian crisis is leading to a huge demand that's difficult to meet.
"It came out of nowhere," said Keith Feuer of Independence Bunting & Flag."They're using it to show their solidarity with Ukraine and the people there." At a factory in Deer Park, they are answering the call coming in from textile processors, led by Glaser Mills of Huntington.
"We provide fabric to flag and banner manufacturers across the country, and universally, every single one of them, is making Ukrainian flags right now," said Mike Glaser, president of Glaser Mills. "In any given week we might sell 1,000-2,000 yards of those colors. Within the past couple of weeks we've sold 20,000 yards of those colors," Glaser said. The Glaser family is reliving history.
"My dad always talked about Kristallnacht. They saw it coming. But the Ukranians, maybe not so much," said Roy Glaser. The Glasers fled Berlin to Sweden and then to the U.S., where the patriarch founded the flag fabric company. In cooperation with the Flag Manufacturers of America, Glaser Mills has launched a matching fund to aid a not-for-profit distributing emergency medical supplies to Ukraine. "Maybe it will be good for this country, getting people to coalesce a little bit," Roy Glaser said. A comradery building among nations, with flags of hope leading the way.
