Salt Lake City-based, veteran-owned artisans announce program to donate custom metal American flags to vets and families of fallen soldiers.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Iron Mountain Designs owner, Josh Vandenbrink, knows returning from war to civilian life comes with a myriad of unforeseen challenges that most vets aren’t prepared or equipped to face. The special forces veteran, having deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, has struggled with his own transition to civilian life and has strived to share the story of his journey and the lessons he’s learned with other vets. For Josh, working with his hands to shape artwork from metal and wood gave him a purpose and direction that helped him find his place.

Vanderbrink’s company, Iron Mountain Design. has achieved notoriety for their iconic and nationally-renown American flag artwork, hand-crafted from steel and wood. The proprietary process involved in creating the patina for our all-steel American flags makes each piece truly unique and unmatched in quality. These flags have been featured in articles by USA Today, nearly every major news network, and Hollywood personalities such as Joe Rogan, with each of his weekly video podcasts prominently featuring one of Vanderbrink’s flags.

“I found the transition from military to civilian life much harder than I could have anticipated. Going from a very purpose driven life as a member of a team to looking for a job and not knowing where I fit in or how to give back was a struggle” said Vanderbrink, “It’s a struggle I think most veterans relate to and I think it’s driving a lot of the statistics we see about veterans in our community today.”

Now Vanderbrink is looking to give back to his fellow veterans to help them and their families make the transition to civilian life and remind them there’s a network to support them in their journey. From Memorial Day through The Fourth of July, 2018, for every custom Steel or wooden American Flag order they receive, Iron Mountain Designs will donate a steel flag to a veteran or the family of a fallen soldier.

Vanderbrink and his team will be working with two veterans groups, Pararescue Foundation and Special Operations Warrior Foundation to help identify the recipients and help those who would benefit most. Both foundations serve veterans of the Special Operations community and their families.
