For many years we have enjoyed seeing the numerous American Flags flown throughout the Town of Herndon, especially during the weekend of the Herndon Town Festival. The demonstration of national pride and American patriotism is part of what makes Herndon a great place to live. Several years ago, however, a group of neighbors pondered why the Town of Herndon Flag is not flown prominently during the Festival. Many of us didn’t even know the Town of Herndon had its own flag.
A new Town Flag flown together with the American Flag will foster civic pride in our community. A well designed and displayed flag will also provide each member of the Herndon community a way to express this pride to others. After researching attributes of a well designed flags and after creating numerous renditions, we came up with a flag which includes symbolism evocative of our Town. This website explains the symbolism. We hope you will like it and fly it proudly!
