ABOUT FLAG SOJOURN 250
Flag Sojourn 250 is the remarkable journey of one American flag to every U.S. state, every U.S. territory, and every U.S. military cemetery overseas. This extraordinary global odyssey concludes as the flag travels through the original thirteen colonies and culminates in Washington, D.C., in July 2026.
The project is a national tribute and symbol of unity led by the National Flag Foundation (NFF) in partnership with America250’s America Waves program, with key partners including the National Sheriffs’ Association, UPS, and the American Battle Monuments Commission.
As the nation approaches its Semi quincentennial on July 4, 2026, Flag Sojourn 250 serves as a solemn and meaningful tribute to our most cherished national symbol — the American flag — and to all Americans, especially those who have given their lives in service to our country.
HISTORY OF THE SOJOURN
The journey began on Flag Day, June 14, 2025, during a reverent ceremony hosted by the Vietnam Veterans of America. The flag was entrusted to the American Battle Monuments Commission and carried across ten countries, touching all 26 U.S. military cemeteries overseas, as well as U.S. territories in both the Pacific and Atlantic. On October 8, 2025, the flag returned to American soil.
With the support of the National Sheriffs’ Association, the flag is now continuing its domestic journey across the United States, being carried with honor and respect by sheriffs’ offices nationwide. Its journey will conclude in Washington, D.C., where it will be formally presented to the America250 Committee and raised in a final salute to national unity and the American Spirit.
This is not merely the movement of a flag — it is a journey of remembrance, reflection, and shared American values.
