"The Major"
A Symbol of Honor and Sacrifice
Each year during Veterans Week, a giant American flag—known as “The Major”—is unfurled in Coldwater Canyon, Utah, standing as a breathtaking tribute to the men and women who have served our country. This iconic display is a reminder that service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
From miles away, the sight of “The Major” soaring over the canyon is a powerful expression of gratitude, unity, and patriotism, bringing the community together in remembrance.
