Bring Big Red Home
Big Red is home!
After months of planning, fundraising and construction, the flag believed to be the original "Big Red Flag" has returned to The Citadel from the State Museum of Iowa.
The flag left Iowa on Thursday morning, March 4th, and arrived in Charleston around 11am on Friday, March 5th. It will be left to acclimate over the weekend and put into its permanent home early next week. The invitation-only official unveiling is scheduled for Friday, March 19.
A complete history of the flag can be found here.
While the flag has been returned home, the fundraising isn't over. In order to maintain the flag and properly care for it, more funds will be necessary. Please consider donating via the links below.
The flag display will be open to the public on a limited basis once the unveiling is over. A viewing schedule will follow.
