Flying Flags for Heroes

The Flying Flags for Heroes is a non-profit organization with a goal of placing 1 million flags on the graves of our Nation’s Heroes. The organization was started by then ten year old Preston Sharp as a way to make certain that the graves of all veterans had flags to honor their service.

At the 2021 Sons of The American Legion Convention, the first order of business was to entertain a motion to make Flying Flags for Heroes the Sons of The American Legion project for 2021-2022 and Preston Sharp as the National Spokesman. The motion made, seconded, and voted in with enthusiasm, Flying Flags for Heroes now has the support of over 350,000 members to make this goal a reality.

Please join us in making this project a success beyond expectations.
