Lincolnshire,
IL – September 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Camping
World, the nation’s largest RV and outdoor retailer, and Good
Sam, the world’s largest RV owners organization, today announced that
they are continuing a tradition of honoring present and past members of
our armed forces by installing a massive American flag at their Calera,
Alabama RV SuperCenter. The 40x80’ flag that will fly on a 130’ pole
is being installed as part of a project that Camping World and Good Sam
began in February of 2014 to show their ongoing appreciation of America’s
veterans and active military members.
“With
all the positive feedback we have received over the past year, we are elated
to complete another installment of our large American flags at our SuperCenters
across the country. It was our vision to continue the tradition of showing
support and appreciation to our country and to those that have sacrificed
so much to keep our communities safe,” commented Marcus Lemonis, Chairman
and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam and host of CNBC’s The Profit. “The
installation of this flag in Calera is just one of many we have erected
in cities across the country and we have plans to continue installing flags
at many more of our dealerships in the coming months.”
The
Camping World in Calera, which is located at 730 George Roy Parkway, will
hold an official flag raising ceremony on Friday, September 11 at 4pm.
All local military, veterans and the community members are invited to attend
this event. A light lunch will be served prior to the ceremony, which will
be attended by The American Legion Hall and soldiers from the local area
to help raise the flag.
Currently
the massive American flag flies high at 35 Camping World SuperCenters across
the country. Other dealerships scheduled to receive the flags throughout
the year include locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York,
North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
