Thanks for sharing this find.  Great thing they did.

I bet the last person holding that flag when raised was hoping a big puff of wind did not catch the flag.

Have driven by it a few times.  It is impressive.

I fish the Sheboygan river, little more than a mile from the flag. At first I was puzzled at what the sound of the flag waving in the breeze was. Finally figured it out, You can see it from miles away and hear it from over a mile away too.
