Inspirational Banners
Flags have always been a source of pride and inspiration throughout the history of mankind.
"How the Union Grew"
Help us tell the story of how our union of States grew by helping us purchase the State & Territorial flags of the United States. The flags will become a permanent part of our educational programs. With the help of volunteers, the flags will join the annual Memorial Day parade and provide a colorful history lesson as they come down Broad Street in the order that each state joined the Union.
All the state flags will be 3 x 5 nylon. The price of each flag with pole is $36. We welcome individuals, businesses, churches and civic groups to sponsor a flag.
Please make checks payable to: Roman Legion Memorial Day Fund. Please include a note to let us know which flag you would like to sponsor and if you would like to dedicate it to the memory of a group or individual.
