I offer this image of Hoover Dam on May 1, 1996. On that day, a 505 foot by 255 foot American flag was flown from the downstream face of Hoover Dam. The flag itself weighed 3,000 pounds, and was hoisted by 3 separate cables located at the top of the dam. The flying of the flag was part of a ceremony in which the 1996 Summer Olympic torch was carried across Hoover Dam. The photograph is a vertical view taken downstream from the dam.

Maybe change the "Flag Day" part of your comment to Independence Day? I see you just copy/pasted this whole comment from here.

It's now the 4th of July, you should mention that.
Flag day is Jun 14. Which is also President Trumps birthday.
Just seems odd.
yep missed that part.lol
Now if a 'Trump Won' flag of equivalent size were to be flown there ...
Freedom boners across the nation turned up to 11
