Our Story
In 2009, when Avram Golden's brother Ari Golden was being deployed to the Iraq War, his family planned a going away party.
Traveling from Bay City - their childhood home and Avram's permanent residence - and arriving in the small town of Lainsburgh MI where his brother resided. The American Flags that lined the Lainsburgh streets made a visually profound impression on Avram. He immediately determined to organize a similar presence in Bay City.
Since 2010 the flags have flown from Memorial Day throughLabor Day. Symbolizing Liberty and justice for all. The program grows every year with over 250 flags throughout Downtown Bay City and the Columbus Avenue business district celebrating all who sacrifice and serve for the greater good.
Even though these high quality flags are carefully removed and stored each Fall, the life-cycle is only two years, so project funding remains ongoing. If you would like to volunteer or donate please notify us via email or our website.
