Shree Saini, the business owner and Miss World America Washington, shared this statement:
“We truly owe everything to our service men and women! Because of our veterans we are all free, safe and get to pursue our dreams. This massive flag is a symbol of our gratefulness to the UNITED States of America and will be seen by over 40 million people a year.” – Shree Saini
The flag is estimated to be 40 by 80 feet which is the same size of a US flag that flies at Camping World in Pasco.
Some speculated such a large gathering in Thorp could be dangerous amid a spike in coronavirus cases locally and nationally.
