The meaning of the "Thin Red Line of Courage" As firefighters are periled, they place their lives second to those they protect. They are forced to face their own fears and grasp for every ounce of courage to perform the necessary task. "The Thin Red Line of Courage" represents the last ounce of courage firefighters find deep in their blood to conquer their darkest fears in order to save and protect life and property. The firefighters from the Apex Volunteer Fire Department designed and developed the "The Thin Red Line of Courage" in 1999. Today, it is displayed to show respect for firefighters injured and killed in the line of duty. These flags measure 48" x 26" and are made on pine wood. They are distressed to give them a rustic weathered look and are then sealed with a clear coat finish. They come ready to hang with saw tooth hangers. Due to the nature of the wood and my handmade technique of distressing it, each piece is uniquely different. Keep in mind, all of our items are painted by hand. They are not meant to have perfect or crisp lines and are meant to have a rustic, handmade quality to them. Don't see exactly what you want?
