Liberty Flags: American Made Flags Flying Strong from Tulsa

There are very few products in this country that carry as much meaning per square foot as the American flag. It hangs over schoolhouses and statehouses, drapes the caskets of veterans, and waves from front porches on the Fourth of July. With the 250th birthday of the United States now less than a month away, that meaning is hitting a little harder than usual. The question of where your flag was actually made matters more than ever, and Liberty Flags of Tulsa, Oklahoma has been answering that question the right way for more than forty years.

A Founding Story Worth Telling

Liberty Flags was founded in 1982 by Art Zakharian, an Armenian refugee who came to the United States with a story that reads like a love letter to the country itself. Encouraged by American G.I.s to chase opportunity in a free country, he eventually settled his family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The seed of the company was planted by a small frustration with a very American resolution.

After the Zakharian family lost the American flag they had been flying outside their home, Art went looking for a replacement. He wanted one that was made in America, and he could not find one. Rather than complain about it, he did what his personal motto suggested. "Don't complain, do it better," he liked to say. So he started a flag company built on a single, non negotiable promise: every American flag sold by Liberty Flags will, now and forever, be made in the USA.

Art has since passed, but his family continues to run the company exactly the way he intended. The star in the company logo is a quiet tribute to him.

The American Wave Brand Promise

Every flag and accessory that ships from the Tulsa showroom carries the trademark of The American Wave®. It is more than a brand name. It is the company's assurance of "the highest quality American-made products and ethical business practices." Liberty Flags backs that promise with FMAA certification on its American flags, meaning the Flag Manufacturers Association of America has verified that the product is 100 percent domestically made.

That kind of certification matters. The flag market is awash in cheap imported product that looks fine in a photograph and falls apart on a flagpole within a season. Liberty Flags has chosen the harder path of sourcing materials and labor inside the United States, and it shows in the construction of every flag they sell.

A Flag for Every Need

The American flag collection at Liberty Flags is built around three core fabrics, each engineered for a different use case.

• SunTru™ Nylon is the versatile workhorse, starting around $39. It flies beautifully in light wind and resists fading from ultraviolet exposure.
• WaveCrest™ Polyester is the rugged option, starting near $48, built for the kind of windy, weathered locations where a lesser flag would shred itself in weeks.
• Classic Traditional Cotton is the heirloom choice, starting around $58, offered in both standard outdoor sizes and casket sizes.

For families honoring a veteran, Liberty Flags also sells a G-Spec cotton casket flag built to the military government specification, the same fabric and construction used by the Department of Defense.

Beyond the basic Stars and Stripes, the catalog runs deep. There are state flags for all fifty states, military service flags for every branch including the Space Force, historical American flag patterns, and custom flag work for businesses, schools, and organizations that need their own logo flying in the wind.

Flagpoles, Lights, and Everything in Between

A great flag deserves a great place to fly. Liberty Flags carries a full lineup of residential and commercial flagpoles, along with the brackets, halyards, finials, and solar lights that complete a proper outdoor flag setup. If you are equipping a home, a business, or a municipal building, you can get the whole kit from a single source that actually understands what flies on the end of the pole.

For indoor displays, the company also stocks indoor flag sets with stands and tassels, parade flags, and stick flags in every quantity from one to many thousand. School groups, parade organizers, and veterans organizations have leaned on Liberty Flags for decades because the company knows how to handle bulk orders without compromising on the Made in America promise.

America 250 Is Here

July 4th, 2026 will mark 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That is a milestone the country only gets to celebrate once. Liberty Flags has put together a full America 250 collection for the occasion, every piece of which is made in America.

The collection includes Betsy Ross style Semiquincentennial flags in both nylon and polycotton fabrics, America 250 logo flags in multiple sizes, garden flags, banners, and small handheld stick flags for parades and community events. There are also keepsake ornaments worth picking up while they last:

• Declaration of Independence keepsake
• America 250 Icons ornament
• Eagle of Freedom ornament
• 250 Years of America keepsake
• Celebrate America keepsake
• Betsy Ross flag ornament

Prices on the commemorative pieces start under five dollars, which means anyone can mark the occasion with something meaningful, made by American workers, that will live on a Christmas tree or a mantle for decades to come.

Why It Matters

There is a long list of products that we have argued should be made in America. The American flag sits at the top of that list. A flag that was stitched together in a factory overseas, shipped across an ocean in a container, and trucked to a big box store does not carry the same weight as one assembled by American hands using American thread, American fabric, and American labor.

Liberty Flags has been making that distinction for more than forty years from a showroom on Mingo Road in Tulsa. The Zakharian family built the company on a refugee's gratitude for the country that took them in, and they have kept it running on the same principle ever since.

With the 250th birthday of the United States closing in fast, there has never been a better time to take an honest look at the flag on your porch, your flagpole, or your wall. If it was not made here, Liberty Flags can fix that.
