The relay will challenge the limits of human endurance, traversing diverse terrains and weathering all conditions, day and night. That’s right! The flag never stops moving.
The mission? Set a world record for relaying a single American flag across the country while raising $1 million for Veteran health and wellness.

How the Relay Works
-
Our 12 Veterans have been split into 3 teams of 4 to accomplish this relay. They will run with the flag in shifts. Each team will have their own RV and they will leapfrog the route pacing 8 hours ahead of each other.
-
One runner at a time will carry the flag. Each team will have an 8-hour shift where they are responsible for moving approximately 62 miles per shift. Teams will stay on the same shift throughout.

Moving this flag across the nation requires crew. We’re grateful to have a team doctor, mechanic, alternate runner, 4 full-time logistics and support staff members from Team RWB, along with a media crew and a documentary crew.

This American flag, carried and flown in combat, embodies the spirit of resilience and duty. Purchased in 2009, it was carried by a U.S. Army Special Forces officer, Team RWB’s incoming Executive Director Michael Sullivan, during multiple operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
On June 14, 2009, Flag Day, it flew over the command post at Camp Bastion, watching over soldiers who were deep in the fight. That same year, it accompanied elite U.S. and Afghan forces on one of the most significant missions of the campaign: FRAGO 6 of Operation Siege Engine.
This high-risk strike targeted the Loy Choreh Bazaar in the Taliban stronghold of Nad-e Ali - a key hub for narcotics trafficking and insurgent operations. Intelligence had confirmed it was home to fortified drug labs, enemy stockpiles, and a shadow Taliban government controlling the region’s opium trade.
The strike force was a coalition of warriors: U.S. Army Green Berets, Navy SEALs, DEA FAST agents, Close Air Support teams (from the U.S. and British military), Afghan Commandos, and Special Police. Their mission was clear, cripple Taliban finances, take out key leaders, and dismantle a key funding source of the insurgency.
Through it all, this flag was there - raised high over battle, carried into danger, and surviving the chaos of war. Today, it stands as a symbol of the men and women who fought beneath it, the operations it endured, and the unshakable spirit of those who served.It flew in battle. It stood defiant. And it came home.
