Over the years, $100,000 has been raised through his effort and it's a family affair - The captain's wife and her siblings all take part in creating the flag.
This time they are raffling it off to raise money for the family of 44-year-old Tory Carlon of the Los Angeles County Fire Department who was shot and killed by a disgruntled coworker.
Chagonjian says he wants to do what he can and show the victim's family there are good people in the world who care.
The raffle is $10 to enter and it is open to the public nationwide. They will ship this flag to a winner anywhere in the country.
The drawing is Friday at 5 p.m.
The flag measures 24 by 40 inches and 100% of the proceeds will go to the victim's family.
