Amazon actually sells the flag of the Salvation Army, which prompted me to post this review. Good luck selling the flag now, when you purged me! LOL.
The Salvation Army isn't an actual military formation,
despite their uniforms, but a Christian denomination in the Methodist
tradition. They were originally formed in Britain over a century ago by William
Booth. In Sweden, they are considered respectable, but perhaps somewhat
peculiar, due to their "military" marches, salutes and uniforms. Many
of the members are women of all ages, so it seems females really have joined
the army of God. In other European nations, the Salvation Army has sometimes
been regarded as a "cult". Perhaps they just look too funny in their
gear...
Otherwise, the "army" feeds the needy and the homeless, runs stores selling used clothes and furniture, and preaches the gospel. A few years ago, a Salvation Army band even entered the Eurovision Song Contest (representing Switzerland), under the cover name TAKASA (The Artists Known as the Salvation Army)! That being said, I'm somewhat surprised that magFlags sells their flag. Isn't it copyrighted? Or is salvation, ahem, free...?
