The Global War on Terror Memorial Flag, on display in the NFDA Expo Hall, travels throughout the United States, creating awareness of the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes in the global war on terror. This 28-foot wide by six-foot tall American flag symbolizes the shape of the flag when draped on a fallen service member’s casket. It was created with 7,000 dog tags of all those who have fallen in the war on terror and features 50 gold stars honoring all Gold Star families nationwide. Displayed in front of the flag is a battlefield cross sculpted in mahogany by veteran artist Alicia Dietz.
