<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>The Flag Company Inc And Calipatria's Flagpole</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Fred James</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>There are many different theories about how things began. One author says our globe originally was a mass of molten granite which cooled in a slow process, and through the ages became a rough, ragged mass. Calipatria flagpole has very interesting start. The one thing that stands out enough to be noticed is the 184-foot flagpole that faces ocean level in the town Calipatria. Calipatria's name was derived from the words 'California' and the Spanish word 'patria,' meaning 'fatherland.' Calipatria was incorporated as a city on February 28, 1918. Way out in the middle of the Mojave and a stone's throw from the Salton Sea, the desert town of Calipatria claims to play host to the world's tallest flagpole, but may simply be the world's lowest lying flagpole. The thought of the flagpole was initially proposed in a Chamber of Commerce meeting. One of the purpose behind's that was the expense was too high.<br />
<br />
Then on the night of October 5, 1957, Calipatria's pharmacist, Harry Momita and wife Helen were in a car accident while on their way to see their children in Los Angeles. Helen was killed instantly and Harry was sent to the hospital for some injuries and was there for more than two weeks.<br />
<br />
The story behind Harry and Helen Momita was that they were Japanese Americans who had been in a migration camp in Arizona, which was later grabbed by the universal press and radio that was given overall reputation. With the assistance of numerous colleagues from Calipatria and other individuals outside the city, they gave cash for blossoms out of appreciation for Helen's commemoration.<br />
<br />
When the mayor went to the hospital to see Harry he took the money to him. Harry was amazed by the kindness that was brought about from friends, neighbors, and customers. Harry felt that he had to give something back to the people in return. Harry then thought about taking into consideration the flagpole that had always been joked about. The thought of having a fund for the flagpole was then created into a "Build the Flagpole" campaign.<br />
<br />
Harry wound up winning another auto and got numerous endowments, the greatest of every one of them was Momita accepting $1000 in real money with the goal that he could assemble Calipatria's flagpole! Way down low at 180 feet below sea level, the good folks of Calipatria live in the city at the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere. After a fatal car accident in the community led to an outpouring of kindness and good will among the citizenry, the town wanted to erect a monument to "Good Neighborliness." With this in mind, the town decided to erect a flagpole that would top out at sea-level so that old glory could always fly high. At 184 feet tall, the Calipatria flagpole claims to be the world's tallest flagpole.<br />
<br />
Presently Calipatria brags of the tallest flagpole, flying Old Glory 184 feet high, and when the wind blows, which it regularly does in the Imperial Valley, there is not any more lovely sight than to see the wonderful shades of the Flag waving high above. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banners and flagpole outlines offered an extraordinary release of flagpoles to remember the historical backdrop of Calipatria Flagpole for future generations.<br />
