Flags Over Freedom’s Fortress Program

A fun way to help support the Foundation is to sponsor a flag to fly over Fort Monroe. For almost 200 years, the Army flew a flag on the Fort’s flag bastion. Celebrate the history of Fort Monroe and show your American pride by helping to continue this long-standing tradition.

You can help keep the flag flying with a donation of $300 or more. In recognition of your contribution, you will be notified in writing when your flag will fly over Fort Monroe. Once your flag has been worn or faded, it will be retired and mailed to you with an official letter recognizing the time it flew over Freedom’s Fortress.
