Avenue of Flags, Memorial park in Hermitage, United States
The Avenue of Flags displays 444 American flags arranged in rows across the grounds of Hillcrest Memorial Park cemetery in Pennsylvania.
The memorial began during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-1981, with one flag added daily to represent each day of captivity for American diplomats.
The flags arrangement includes representations of military branches and state flags, creating a space for national remembrance and reflection.
Visitors can access the memorial year-round, with special ceremonies held during Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day celebrations.
An eternal flame burns at the site to honor eight American servicemen who died during a rescue mission attempt in Iran.
