Patriotic Citizen makes Long Lasting American Flag!
The Story behind the Amazing Endurance Flag
In 1989 a group of veterans decided their small town of Sidney, NE
needed a memorial park to honor those brave men and women of the area
who served and were serving in the Armed Forces.
A local businessman, Bob Van Vleet, stepped up and became
the coordinator of the construction of this memorial, including the acquiring of the
state's largest flag pole topping out at 141 feet. It was to be the
tallest flagpole in the state of Nebraska.
It took 16 yards of concrete to anchor the 4-1/2 ton flagpole in place.
On July 4th, 1989 the Memorial Park was dedicated by raising a 30 x 60 foot
American Flag. Needless to say, a huge crowd attended this wonderful event, and
there wasn't a dry eye in the audience.
But, the flag started breaking down immediately. The committee took their flag to
a local company where a talented seamstress worked to repair the flag. After a
number of repairs the seamstress, Diane Larson, felt there should be a more
durable material for the stripes. She was actually getting tired of repairing this
huge flag.
She did some research and then suggested an exciting new material to the memorial committee. It
was similar to a football jersey, an open mesh that allows air to pass through it and
not against it. The result? The knit doesn't fray like nylon traditionally used for ordinary flags made by all the other flag companies.
Bob liked the idea so much he started Endurance Flag Company and hired Diane as the
Plant Manager.
Endurance tested the new flag material for three years on the windy plains of Nebraska.
These flags are capable of flying continuously for up to 50% longer than ordinary flags in
similar conditions.

and continuing to grow by supplying customers with the most durable flag for
