“I enjoy it,” said Cardwell. “I stay busy, and I like to think I am helping promote patriotism in our country.”
The hobby-turned-business has been up and running for three years thanks to Cardwell’s two sons. They both own similar businesses in Ohio. Being that the company sells flags and is all for patriotism, Cardwell decided to donate a portion of his profit to the Gary Sinise Foundation. This foundation was founded by actor Gary Sinise, who is best known for his role as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump.“You get to meet so many people, interesting people,” explained Cardwell. “People with stories. I get to learn a lot from them and it is always fun. It is something I found that I really enjoy.
