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 veteran 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. 🇺🇸

Liz walked away from a career in finance to keep her father's company in the family. She had never run a company, so she brought in people with the experience she didn't have.

Bob Ross has one more canvas to show you before Halloween, and this time he wants you to see the back of it.

In 1925, one state painted the back of its flag differently from the front, and no other state has done it since.

Tell us where you’re from and we’ll do your state’s flag too.

Bob Ross is back, and this time the flag is upside down.

If you’ve ever driven past one hanging that way, you probably figured somebody hung it wrong. Under the U.S. Flag Code, an upside-down flag actually means something, and it has nothing to do with Halloween.

Tell us the flag rule you’ve always wondered about and we’ll explain it.

Navy Day is Tuesday, October 27, a day for everyone who served in the Navy. The official flag of the United States Navy is the one an honor guard carries down Main Street on the Fourth of July, and it has never flown from a Navy ship.

Anyone who served can tell you what a Navy ship actually flies. If you served in the Navy, tell us which ship you served on.

Halloween came early to the warehouse this year. Liz showed up as Bob Ross, apron and all, and brought a paintbrush and a state flag with her.

Bob Ross had a saying about mistakes, and one state’s flag has been proving him right since 1902. No other state has one like it.

Tell us where you’re from and we’ll do your state’s flag too.

Dwight started this company in 1980 and ran it for almost forty years. Then he handed it to Liz. Now Dwight focuses on the role of being a dad. Watch and listen to the full episode on our Youtube channel.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation has raised more than a million dollars for breast cancer research at Duke, UNC, and Wake Forest over almost 30 years. Everyone involved is a volunteer, so every dollar goes to the labs.

Their fundraiser is a golf tournament, Tee it up for a Cure, played September 28 at Croasdaile Country Club . Liz worked with them on a flag for each of the 18 greens, in their colors, with their logo. Golfers saw it on every hole.

Thank you to Chapel Hill Breast Cancer Foundation for having us. If you run a charity tournament, we’d love to hear about it.

She’s 100 years old, and the minute her flag starts to fray, she wants a new one up.

So for Aunt Vi’s 100th birthday, her nephew BJ went big. His family runs a sawmill in Bellwood, Nebraska, and had a wind turbine left over from a project that never worked out. He turned it into a flagpole and ordered a 30 x 50 flag to fly from it.
Now people pull over just to take pictures.

We ask everyone who orders a flag what it’s for. This answer stuck with us. Thank you to the Barcel family for letting us share it.

Who do you fly your flag for? Tell us in the comments.

Which flag is right for the pole off the side of your house? Why your pole and hardware bracket has a lot to do with the answer.

Liz had a career in finance when her dad started asking about the company. She didn't say yes right away.
