National Park Service Statement

Date:
May 26, 2024

Reports that a National Park Service (NPS) official ordered the removal of an American flag from a Denali bridge construction worker's vehicle at Denali National Park are false. At no time did an NPS official seek to ban the American flag from the project site or associated vehicles. The NPS neither administers the bridge project contract, nor has the authority to enforce terms or policies related to the contract or contractors performing the work. The American flag can be seen at various locations within Denali National Park - at park facilities and campsites, on public and private vehicles, and at employee residences - and we welcome its display this Memorial Day weekend and every day.
