About The National Flag Foundation

More than a half century of demonstrating appreciation, respect, and understanding of our nation’s greatest symbol.

Intertwined within the threads of red, white, and blue, lies a story of a country and its people. The American Flag not only acts as a symbol of our great nation’s freedom, but it is a representation of our country’s citizens and their history. Old Glory is the thread that binds us all together. The National Flag Foundation was founded to honor and respect our nation’s greatest symbol, the Flag of the United States of America. We bring awareness and remembrance to the American Flag’s history while representing the protocol for care, handling, and etiquette of our nation’s symbol.
