Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 25, 2016 -- The Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta represented the apex of athletic triumphs, as well as the nadir of human tragedy. Poignant and moving memories include legendary Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic torch; the astonishing Michael Johnson, the only runner to win gold in both the 200 and 400 meter races; the surge of joy and patriotism as an injured Kerri Strug struggled to earn the gold for the women’s gymnastic team. And, of course, the heartbreak of a terrorist bomb attack on the Centennial Olympic Park resulting in two fatalities, and over 100 injuries.

The 1996 Summer Olympics’ singular historical importance cannot be understated, and now, for the first time in 20 years, these nearly priceless collectables from this seminal event are being made available.

“This is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a private collection or museum to vicariously experience and share the legacy of the Centennial Olympic Games,” said Mike Lawrence, Vice President of The Flag Company, Inc. “These flags are authenticated, and are the very flags that flew over the Olympic Village seen by billions in the TV audience. There is only one such existing set in the world. At the ’96 Games’ conclusion, they were taken down, carefully packed, and stored in vaults here at The Flag Company, Inc. headquarters in Atlanta ever since.”

Mr. Lawrence continued, “Quite honestly, for sentimental reasons, we have not been able to bring ourselves to part with these historic flags until now. However, it seemed fitting and appropriate at this 20-year anniversary juncture, to commemorate the Centennial Games, as well as the rapidly approaching 2016 Summer games in Rio.”

During the Centennial Olympic Games, 197 flags representing each country competing in the Olympics flew over the Olympic Village. Provided by The Flag Company, Inc., these flags have been kept in pristine condition. And now, in this Olympic year, they are finally being made available to the public. Qualified, serious inquiries are invited to directly contact Mr. Mike Lawrence at the Flag Company, Inc.
