Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Flag – 3'x5' Nylon

Honor those unjustly held overseas. Stand with their families. Keep their stories visible.

The Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Flag is the official national symbol adopted by Congress to recognize Americans wrongfully detained abroad and the families advocating for their safe return. It flies at federal buildings across the United States — including the White House and Capitol — as a visible expression of concern, hope, and commitment.

Created in 2022 through the efforts of more than 50 families and advocacy groups, the flag was formally designated by the National Defense Authorization Act in 2024. It is displayed on March 9 (U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, and whenever a captive is released or confirmed deceased.
