The American have been entrusted with a very high honor as the nation moves toward its 250th anniversary. Members of the Riders will personally es**rt the U.S. flag from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., this July 4 when our nation celebrates its 250th birthday.
This is no ordinary flag. The flag our Riders are entrusted to bring to the nation’s capital will have traveled the world – 26 countries in all – flying over the graves and memorials of U.S. heroes buried in cemeteries under the American Battle Monuments Commission’s care. The final leg of that international tour begins at the national headquarters of the National Flag Foundation in Pittsburgh.
