STANDING FOR FREEDOM
and justice, the American flag is a
revered symbol. It flies high, especially
in our Fayetteville and Fort Bragg
community. e red, white, and blue
are emblematic of what we've fought
for historically and what we continue
to fight for. Flags, then, can weather the
test of time.
I went out to discover the battle
worn flags created by Metal Worx
Inc., to uncover the history behind the
flags they've created and to see how
their metal art is an example of the
American dream at work right here,
close to home.
Upon entering the shop, I was
engulfed in the sheer crasmanship of
their creations. Standout flags caught
my eye. Flags, dripping in color, were
for states, universities, and even Marvel
Comic characters. Metal Worx Inc.
felt friendly and welcoming, and it was
at that moment I was greeted by Lori
Bertsch, the owner of the establishment
who runs operations alongside her
son, Kory, and a handful of other
gentleman. Everyone working at Metal
Worx Inc. considers each other to be
family.
While I was there, a large sheet
of metal was on the Flow Mach 3
Waterjet, the large machine used to
cut out the flags. "ey use machines
like this to cut Fig Newtons," Lori
