Phase 1 — Build the Foundation

Pledge a Brick, Raise the Flag

For $250, reserve a commemorative brick at the foundation of the world's tallest American flag — a 700-foot monument, veteran landmark, and community center in Southwest Missouri. Every brick carries your name.

The Pledge a Brick program is how ordinary patriots become founding members of an extraordinary landmark. Phase 1 raises $2 million — 8,000 commemorative bricks at $250 each — to secure the site, break ground, and launch the campaign. Each brick is engraved and set into the plaza at the base of the monument, where it will stand for generations.
