Mohawk Flooring hosted a special American flag raising ceremony to honor its employees and celebrate its unique American heritage.
Towering from a 130-foot pole on the company’s Union Grove campus, the flag will be a landmark for drivers along I-75.
Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta joined in on the festivities, raising the flag during the ceremony, and they received badges for their uniforms.
The flag will be the largest in Georgia, measuring 45 feet high by 75 feet wide and weighing over 150 pounds.
Rebecca Howell of Cochran, Georgia, most recently featured on NBC’s The Voice, performed the national anthem.
Remarks were made by Tom Lape, president of residential flooring (left), Jeff Lorberbaum, chairman and CEO (center), and Paul De Cock, president of Mohawk Flooring North America (right).
Also included in the festivities was a performance by Spirit of Atlanta Drumline.
