The Hostage 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.
Gettysburg Flag® is proud to offer this flag to members of the public who wish to voice their support for bringing them home, keeping awareness at top of mind.

A movement to free wrongfully detained Americans has taken hold in the American political system and we are 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 continued 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.

About The Hostage Flag Design
The Hostage and Detainee Flag features a black background, symbolizing how dark it is to be held captive against your will with a silhouette of 3 detainees at the center of the flag. There are contrasting bright yellow days ticked off along the center and the words "Hostage And Wrongful Detainee" and "Bring them Home" are prominently displayed.
