Step Two:
Flag Hosts

Flag Hosts are businesses and organizations dedicated to publicly displaying our flags as enduring tributes to our heroes. Our hosts understand these flags aren’t just symbols; they’re tangible pieces of legacy that bring comfort to grieving families and unite communities in remembrance.

By becoming a Flag Host, you gain nationwide visibility and join a movement redefining how we honor our heroes.

Host locations include airports, stadiums, VFW/American Legion posts, breweries, veteran-owned businesses, hospitals, and nonprofits.

Each flag is carefully crafted through four stages: printing, sewing, framing (if needed), and shipping (for locations outside North Carolina). A one-time donation from Flag Hosts helps cover the labor and material costs, ensuring these powerful symbols continue to inspire and connect communities.

Step Three:
Building the Flag

Our flags embody several unique features that make our mission profoundly symbolic and deeply impactful.

The Union

The blue portion on the front of each flag represents the “Union”, printed on the Union are all branches of the Military and First Responder insignia. They are encircled by 21 stars, to symbolize the traditional 21-gun salute given to our fallen heroes. On the back of the flag is our Foundation’s logo.

Name Tape

We sew on the actual patterned uniform name tape that each fallen wore during his/her service. Name Donors are encouraged to personalize the name tape to their best form of remembrance, whether it be nicknames, dates, or a standard Rank and name.

Serial Number

Most importantly, we assign each flag its own number. This helps Name Donors keep
track of each flag’s location. Additionally, when other visit a flag they can post and tag
the flag’s picture and number, which provides updates, awareness and remembrance to the names on each flag.
