Huge Flag

 Kyle Fox and Ron Nix started a "Follow the Flag" nonprofit organization in 2015 to promote patriotism.  This is the largest flag to ever fly in the USA - 400 pounds, 1/4 acre in size.  It is on steel cable and flew in the mouth of Grove Creek Canyon - Pleasant Grove, Utah - from July 4 - 10th.
 Really loved seeing this - and all the families going up to the canyon to view it!  Even made the NBC Nightly news - I'm told!~
 Sponsored by the Colonial Flag Company - Mr. Fox said:  I want kids to know the Fourth of July is about more than a barbecue, a parade and fireworks."  It is about our freedoms and thanking those who provide them for us.
This big spot light lit the huge flag all night - pretty impressive! We are blessed beyond measure to live in such a wonderful free land.
