## Resource

Wilmington, Ohio, proudly unveils the state’s largest painted American flag, a towering 85-foot-tall, 60-foot-wide masterpiece adorning a grain silo — a project born from local passion and set to become a beacon for visitors and residents alike. Celebrated on Memorial Day amid the nation’s 250th anniversary, the flag transforms Main Street into a patriotic spectacle, complementing historic architecture and drawing crowds eager to witness the town’s newest landmark. Illuminated day and night, it’s the second-largest vertical flag in the U.S., with Cape Canaveral’s flag still holding top honors — a fact its creator, Kyle Rudduck, takes with good humor. The unveiling was part of a full Memorial Day celebration, including the annual parade and a solemn ceremony honoring fallen heroes at Sugar Grove Cemetery, blending community pride with national reverence.
