City of Leeds Announces Installation of 135-Foot Flagpole at Memorial Park
LEEDS, Ala. โ The City of Leeds is proud to announce the installation of a new 135-foot flagpole at Leeds Memorial Park, featuring a massive 30-by-60-foot American flag that will stand as a powerful symbol of patriotism, sacrifice, and honor.
Known proudly as โThe City of Valor,โ Leeds is home to three Medal of Honor recipients, a distinction that reflects the extraordinary courage and service deeply rooted in the communityโs history. The new flag and flagpole will serve as a lasting tribute to the veterans, active military members, and fallen heroes who have defended our nationโs freedoms.
This important project was made possible through the leadership and vision of Mayor Eddie Moore and the Leeds City Council, whose commitment to honoring the cityโs military heritage helped bring the effort to life.
โThis flag will be a proud reminder of what Leeds stands for,โ said Mayor Moore. โAs the City of Valor, it is important that we continue to honor the brave men and women who have served our country and recognize the incredible legacy represented in our community.โ
The 135-foot structure and oversized American flag are expected to become a defining landmark for Leeds and a centerpiece of Memorial Park. City leaders hope the monument will serve not only as a place of reflection and remembrance, but also as a source of pride for generations to come.
The City of Leeds extends its appreciation to all those who contributed to the project and remains dedicated to preserving and celebrating the communityโs strong tradition of military service and patriotism.
