Pillars of Purpose to each flag
- Give the families of our fallen a healthy, positive, and eternal method of coping with the loss of their loved ones.
- Keep the names of our fallen in the eyes of our communities, sparking conversation and understanding of their SERVICE and SACRIFICES, while sharing memories of each name.

Our Vision
Flag to remember
Our Founder
Originally from Washington State, Anthony joined the Army in 2010 out of Fort Liberty, NC. As a young man, he was eager to serve his country, but had little understanding of the harsh realities of the physical and emotional pains his commitment to serve would be paired with, early in his career. The Flag to Remember mission is because of those pains and derived from one flag he designed with the names of friends he lost to combat and suicide. His flag worked as something tangible for him to carry while building his own positive coping methods for closure.
Since FTR was officially established it’s grown tremendously and brought families that very peace he found through his first flag. Every flag built since Day 1, has since brought communities together across the nation. Anthony has lived over a decade in NC, serving in the military and volunteering with local nonprofit organizations. Through Flag to Remember, Anthony is dedicated to ensuring the mission to spread awareness of the service and sacrifices of our military and first responders across the nation succeeds.

Our Vision
From what began as a coping method, Flag to Remember has become a mission to display hundreds of memorial flags nationwide. Each flag is our opportunity to become the voice for the voiceless and the loved ones they’ve left behind. With each flag, the families who lost a veteran or first responder can find a positive and healthy coping method. Our vision and mission are ambitious, and Flag to Remember is committed to achieving its goals and would heavily appreciate your support.
