Early Development Notice: Old Glory Rising is currently in early development. Nonprofit status is in process and land documentation is still being finalized. All pledges at this stage are expressions of support — no funds will be collected until the organization is formally established.
Our Mission & Vision
The Flag Is the Symbol.
The People Are the Story.
Vision: A beacon on the hill — visible for more than 30 miles — rising as an enduring symbol of freedom, inspiring unity, faith, gratitude, and national pride for generations to come.
Mission: Our mission is to unite Americans by building the world's tallest American flag in the heart of the country — a place where people can gather, honor our veterans, celebrate freedom, and take part in a national monument built by the people, for the people.
Phase 1 — Pledge a Brick
Build the Foundation, Brick by Brick
Every brick is $250 and every brick carries your name. Our initial goal is $2 million to secure the site, break ground, and launch the campaign. Each pledge raises the flag a little higher.
