Beyond all, our executive director and staff have a passion for our work, pride in America and a fervor for preserving and passing on the heritage of our national symbols lead by the Flag of the United States of America.

The US Flag belongs to all Americans.  Its very meaning is about the diversity of America regardless of politics, age, race, religion,  or origin.  It belongs to the people and represents the hope of all for America's future. 

This site is designed to honor the dignity of the Flag.  It is not splashed with red, white and blue because on this site, these colors are reserved for the Flag.  We trust that you will find the site informative and enjoyable.

With roots dating back to the 1890s National Flag Foundation (NFF) was established in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1968.  NFF is America's leading non-profit patriotic educational organization promoting respect for our nation's most important symbol: The Flag of the United States of America.  We invite you to participate in our growing membership program with active chapters in many states.

We are also registered as the "United States Flag Foundation™”. This is brought to your attention to eliminate any confusion that might arise on our Web sites or publications.
