With all the talk about Senator Barack Obama and his missing lapel pin, we decided to take a quick look at the traditional American Flag Pin. Although many people choose to wear state flag pins, the most popular lapel pin in the United States is the national flag.

There are so many different sizes and shapes of flag lapel pins and yet the American flag always looks as good, no matter what the size or the design. Any person who is proud of their country and is not afraid to display a little lapel pin might find this is the best way to do so.

A flag pin is something you should be proud of, therefore it must sit on your lapel lightly without damaging the fabric of your clothing. Sizes can vary too but the most recommended and popular size for any lapel pin is between 3/4" and 1".

There are so many different types and styles of flag pins to choose from, they all very from size, finish, material and design. You can find anything from simple flags to state flags, flags with rhinestones, flags with an eagle, square flags, waving flags, flags in the shape of a map and many more. You may also find a more exclusive variety of flag lapel pins which can be made of precious metals, silver or gold.
