In a powerful and moving display, United States flags will fly in a solemn formation at Sussex Lane, an open field across from Bowie High School, from May 13 through June 10, 2026. This stirring display of 150 flags will bring the community together in a patriotic tribute to honor our heroes while also celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Each U.S. flag represents an individual and tells a story. Flags may be sponsored to honor individuals currently serving in our military, veterans, and first responders. This unique event is the perfect opportunity for all of us to remember and honor our many heroes.

The Stars & Stripes reminds us of who we are as a people. Americans meet the challenges of history and overcome hardships, becoming stronger. That is just who we are. As our nation approaches its 250th year, the United States flag stands as a powerful symbol of our shared history, our resilience, and our hope for the future. It represents our solidarity in creating a brighter tomorrow and uniting us all.

This moving display is a gift to the community made possible through donations, sponsorships, and the efforts of many dedicated volunteers. You can show your support and gratitude by sponsoring a flag or making a donation.

The display is open to all without charge. Don’t miss it!
