Freedom and Glory

Freedom and Glory Stories that celebrate the American spirit. Podcast + flags since 1980. Hillsborough, NC. 🇺🇸 In 1980, a guy in Chicago started selling flags from his attic.

Not because he dreamed of building a company. Because he wanted to build something that mattered. Something he could be proud of. And he believed it was worth the risk. Forty-five years later, his daughter runs that company. We’ve sold thousands of flags—each one crafted in America. But somewhere along the way, we realized something. The flags were never really the point. It’s the stories. The vet

eran who organized a memorial that brought his whole town together. The teacher who turned her students into community leaders. The small business owner who keeps her town’s Main Street alive. The neighbor who just shows up. So we started a podcast. Tales of American Spirit. Every month, Liz Morris and Bill LuMaye sit down with people like that. Not celebrities. Just Americans proving what one person can do. We share your stories too—why you fly your flag, what it means to you, the traditions you’re keeping alive. This page is for all of that. For celebrating what’s possible when people show up. For reminding each other that the American spirit isn’t something we had—it’s something we’re creating right now. Listen to the podcast. Share your flag story. Join the conversation. 🇺🇸
