Munis Urged to Replace Tattered Flags Before July 4

LaMATS Purchasing Services has engaged with Louisiana provider Evangeline Specialities to make replacing American and State flags easy and economical. Municipalities wishing to show pride and patriotism ahead of the Independence Day holiday are encouraged to connect with LPS and Evangeline Specialities through a new online shopping portal: LPSGovshop.net.

"Even high quality flags must be replaced every 8-10 months before they fade and wear," said LaMATS Executive Director, Cliff Palmer. "We wanted to assure our members through this new service that such a necessary expense can be affordable and convenient. Visit our site and order all the American and Louisiana State flags you need, right from your smartphone."
