In an interview with [WishTV](), he said, "The soldiers are what make the U.S. free, you know? They fight for us so I figured it's honoring them by putting them in the flag." Once he was done, his parents posted photos of the patriotic project on [Facebook](). That gallery has been shared over 188,000 times. Feazel has received multiple offers to buy his creation, and Grissom Air Reserve base has expressed interest in displaying it. Aside from entering it into a scholarship competition and local art shows, he plans on keeping it. ![]() *(Photo: Stacey Feazel's Facebook page)* *Want to make your own 'Army Guy American Flag''?
