FOX 13 Dream Team Surprises Rose Park Community With Iconic Flag After Heartbreaking Theft

The Salt Lake City neighborhood of Rose Park has long taken pride in its sky-high salute to patriotism—an American flag visible to all passersby. Just before Memorial Day, however, the cherished flag disappeared, leaving only a severely damaged flagpole and a disheartened community.

Rose Park Community Council members Marilyn Pearson and Kevin Parke found themselves with the daunting task of raising thousands of dollars to restore this community landmark.

Upon learning of the situation, the FOX 13 Dream Team sprang into action! Collaborating with Mountain America Credit Union and Colonial Flag, they devised the perfect plan to replace the flag and repair the flagpole. Lisa Rich, branch manager at Mountain America exclaimed, “We’re excited to be able to help and to bring this back to the community.”

Within weeks, the flag once again flew high above Rose Park, showcasing the neighborhood’s patriotic spirit.
