Flying Flags for Heroes hits 1 million mark
Under the direction of Sons of The American Legion Commander Michael Fox, a group of Sons leadership placed flags at the gravemarkers of deceased servicemembers on May 6, 2022, at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. This was done under Commander Fox's service project, Flying Flags for Heroes.

With 3 months to go in SAL Commander Michael Fox’s term, the initial goal has been met for his service project.

With three months to go in his year as National Commander of the Sons of The American Legion, Michael Fox’s service project has hit its goal.

Flying Flags for Heroes has now placed 1 million flags on veterans’ graves at over 450 cemeteries nationwide. Fox chose Flying Flags as his service project for his term as national commander.

Flying Flags for Heroes evolved into a national project from a local nonprofit created by teen SAL member Preston Sharp in his hometown of Redding, Calif.

There is still time to participate in the program. For information on how to conduct a Flying Flags for Heroes event and more, go to flyingflagsforheroes.com.
