Summary
American flags are flying high—and in record numbers—as the U.S. gears up for its 250th anniversary. Colonial Flag, a veteran flag maker, is overwhelmed by demand, hiring new staff and even outsourcing work to keep up. With orders doubling their usual business and flags vanishing by May, the company’s sewing machines are running nonstop. From the Pentagon to the Indianapolis Colts, major institutions are displaying these patriotic symbols, while ESPN spotlighted the workers behind them. But the real heart of the story? Everyday Americans—like a third-generation Mexican American—who’re buying flags to honor their country, celebrate their luck, and contribute to its betterment, no matter its flaws.
