Imagine Standing Beneath a 700-Foot Flag

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine looking straight up into a sea of red, white, and blue stretching 700 feet into the Ozark sky. That is the moment Old Glory Rising is working to create—a place where every American can stand together beneath Old Glory and feel exactly what she stands for.

A Monument You Can Feel

This will not be a flag glimpsed from a distance on a highway. It will be an experience you walk into, stand beneath, and carry home in your heart.

As the fabric moves in the Ozark wind, visitors will feel the scale of the monument and the weight of what it represents: freedom, sacrifice, and unity. It is designed to be felt in the chest, not just seen with the eyes.

More Than a Flagpole—A Gathering Place

Old Glory Rising is being built as a full community destination in Southwest Missouri, not just a single structure. The grounds surrounding the flag will include a community center and gathering spaces designed for reflection, celebration, and connection.

• Quiet spaces for prayer, reflection, and remembrance
• Gathering grounds for Fourth of July celebrations and veteran tributes
• Community center space for reunions, ceremonies, and civic events
• Walking paths that let visitors take in the monument from every angle

Families will be able to bring children here to teach them what it means to love this country. Veterans will have a place to gather with others who understand what the flag truly costs.

A Place Built by the People

This monument will not rise because of one donor or one organization. It will rise because everyday Americans across the Ozarks and beyond chose to lift it together, brick by brick.

Commemorative bricks, available for $250 each, will form part of the grounds beneath the flag—a lasting record of the families, veterans, and communities who helped make this vision real. Each brick will be a small piece of a much larger story.

A flag this size cannot be raised by a few hands. It takes a nation of neighbors.

Phase 1 of this project carries a goal of $250,000, laying the groundwork for the full vision ahead. The complete project—monument, community center, and gathering grounds—represents an investment of approximately $51 million, a scale that reflects the size of what this flag is meant to mean to America.

Standing Together, Looking Up

When completed, Old Glory Rising will offer something rare in modern life: a shared place where strangers become neighbors simply by standing beneath the same flag. There will be no politics beneath that fabric—only gratitude.

Picture a summer evening, families spread out on blankets, veterans standing a little taller, children asking questions about freedom they will remember for the rest of their lives. This is the moment being built, piece by piece, in the Ozarks.

Building With Integrity, Every Step

As this vision grows, so does the responsibility to build it honestly. Nonprofit status for Old Glory Rising is still being finalized, and every pledge made today is offered as an expression of support for the mission.

Tax-deductibility will apply once nonprofit status is finalized, and updates will be shared openly as that process moves forward. This project is being built the right way—with transparency, patience, and respect for every person who believes in it.

Every brick laid, every dollar given, and every prayer offered brings this monument closer to standing tall over the Ozarks. This is your flag, your community, and your legacy to leave behind.

If this vision moves something in you, there is a place for you in it. Support the Vision and help raise Old Glory higher than she has ever flown.
