OCTOBER 11, 2024 — A roofing company in Peoria, Illinois has set the record for the largest flat-roof American flag, WEEK-TV reports.
The flag measures nearly 150 feet long (46 meters) and 75 feet tall (23 meters). The company’s owner explained that the idea was inspired by a similar flag installation he saw in 2016 in Colorado Springs, following wildfires in the area.
“It’s a symbol of hope,” the owner told reporters. “This is the greatest country in the world, and we have the opportunity to show anyone flying in or out of Peoria.”
