Pocatello–V3 Creations, a local, veteran-owned laser/wood working business, is accepting nominations each month for their “Hero Flag” program.
The flags are laser engraved and hand painted by V3 Creations and V3/Det 1. They can be customized to make the flag memorable to the recipient. The program is for anyone in our local area who has gone above and beyond in their profession, made an impact on someone’s life, and puts others before themselves.
The program will honor (1) person a month. The nominations can be revealed to the person or not.
Chris Riley, owner of V3 Creations, and his good friend Miguel Dominic, who handles the painting of the flags, provided some flags to the community in 2025. The two veterans discussed it and decided to go full speed ahead in our new year.
Riley has stated that he and Miguel would like to just spread some cheer in our community and recognize folks who may or may not be recognized in their respective fields.
To nominate a person, message V3 creations through Facebook or by email v3_creations@icloud.com. The nominations will be reviewed, and the person will be notified if their nominee is selected and information will be taken to help the customization of the flag. The flags will be presented to the recipient by the end of the month.
