“They bring out this giant flagpole. They had to lay it down on the ground and citizens see it — they don’t really know what it is, so there was a lot of speculation in the town.”
recently installed a 50 x 80-foot flagpole to fly the American flag as high as possible.
Mayor Kevin Fowler of Rockwall, Texas, a suburb of the Dallas and Fort Worth metro areas, joined “Fox & Friends” on Thursday morning to talk about the idea and how the symbol of patriotism arrived in town.“We had a council member, Bennie Daniels, who had this dream of having a giant 50 x 80-foot American flag put up in one of the highest points of our city.”The specific location was intentional, as the mayor said it’s reflective of the strong patriotism in the town.
Rockwall, Texas, is a town within the county of Rockwall — and while this might be the smallest county in the state of Texas, Fowler said there is no question about the presence of strong patriotism.The flagpole sits nearly 200 feet above the town.He added, “We want to show how patriotic we are.” The town has a population of over 45,000 people, according to the 2020 Census, and sits just over an hour south of the Oklahoma state line.
