SHANGRALA'S

NATION'S TALLEST FLAGPOLE!

      In Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, Acuity dedicated what its officials say is the world's tallest symbol of freedom - a 400-foot flagpole that's flying an American flag measuring 60 feet high by 120 feet long.
      The flag is raised as a symbol of gratitude to our country and those who defend it. At the base of the pole is a Veterans Memorial, which features the names of every Sheboygan County veteran killed in the line of duty. Enjoy! :)
