The Hostages and Wrongful Detainees Flag serves as a reminder of Americans being kept abroad and focuses on the efforts to bring them home. Recently enacted into law, the "U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day Act" codifies March 9th as the official day of observance of their plight, authorizing the flying of this flag in position of honor at specified Federal locations on that day and select other days throughout the year, including Flag Day and Independence Day. The full text of the bill can be read here.

A movement to free wrongfully detained Americans has taken hold in the American political system and Gettysburg Flag Works is proud to be the first supplier of the Hostage and Wrongful detainee flag. “Bring our Families Home” is an organization made up of the family members of those who have been taken by foreign countries in corrupt ways. They continue to actively campaign for attention and advocate for their loved one’s release. Support them by flying this flag on specified holidays, like the designated date of March 9th, which is now known as the U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day.
