This is a story of our fathers.
When Donna Husted Levy and Art Levy founded One Nation Flag, we dedicated it to our fathers.
Both were World War II veterans. George Husted, Jr. fought on Iwo Jima. Marvin Levy fought in Normandy.
George was raised in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Marvin grew up in a two-room apartment in the Bronx, New York City.
They were about as opposite on the political spectrum as two men could be. But they were the best of friends.
OneNation Flag is dedicated to them and the America they fought to keep free.

The Requirement:
According to the US Flag Code, the American flag “may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.”
The OneNation Flag Difference:
Our patents make us the only company able to offer products that illuminate both the flag below and the finial ornament above.
*US Utility Patents: #11,035,565 and #11,942,000
