Veterans And Supporters Build Glass American Flag

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- On Saturday, six military veterans and 80 non-veterans gathered to create a glass mosaic American Flag.

50 by 100 inches, the mosaic brought people together at the Pittsburgh Glass Center to "learn about freedom," the American flag and the practice of glass work.

According to a press release the goal of creating the flag was, in part, to "inform youth and other residents about their veteran neighbors and to honor and remember all the men and women who have fought for our country."
