Flat Daddies is the name of the organization providing life-size cutouts of deployed service members to their spouses, children, and relatives back home.

They are life-size 2-dimensional cardboard cut-outs that enable you to have your loved one around… even when he or she is gone.

Flat Daddies and Flat Mommies are life-size printed posters of parents who are actively serving overseas in the military. These posters are available free (plus $9.50 for shipping & handling) to the spouse of a deployed service person through the generous support of our sponsors.  Source

According to the St. Petersburg Times: “An Ohio company, SFC Graphics, began offering free flat daddies to immediate family members of a deployed soldiers through a Web site, www.flatdaddies.com … A Sarasota company, LexJet Corp., joined the effort, providing raw materials.” (more here)
