In 2004, Iowa Air National Guard veteran and founder of the Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight Ron Newsum initiated the effort to place a United States flag on the pier of the Bennett Viaduct. The flag is 15 feet by 25 feet and is maintained and replaced by the Fort Dodge Fire Department. A rock from Harlan Rogers Sports Complex was placed in the Sunkissed Meadows park to mark a clear view of the pier and Old Glory. Upon the rock is a commemorative plaque, thanking those who contributed to the construction.
