About

WoodmenLife is hosting a Travelling Flag Event- A special limited edition 250th Anniversary Betsy Ross Flag will begin it's nationwide journey in South Boston, VA and travel across the US, being flown at patriotic sites across America. At the end of it's journey, it will fly at the WoodmenLife Tower at 1700 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska. The Staff of WoodmenLife will include this travelling Flag in a time capsule in Omaha.

South Boston, VA is the home of Annin Flagmakers, where these limited edition flags were made. WoodmenLife is the nation's largest purchaser and presenter of US flags other than our US Military. We at WoodmenLife value our American freedoms, just like you. That’s why we’ve presented more than 4 million flags to nonprofit organizations, schools, and communities nationwide.

In addition to the Travelling Flag, another such limited edition Betsy Ross Flag will be presented to the Town of South Boston.

Remarks will be made by WoodmenLife, Annin Flagmakers, and the Town of South Boston.

We understand the importance of patriotism. Since our founding in 1890, we’ve provided opportunities to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and thank those who protect them.
