The story of the flag was chronicled in an October 2014 episode of the HISTORY series “Brad Meltzer’s Lost History.” Shortly after the broadcast, an anonymous individual delivered a flag that he claimed to be the original Ground Zero Flag to a fire station in Everett, WA. The City of Everett contacted HISTORY and Everett Police detectives began a forensic investigation. Based on the City’s findings and additional analysis by their own experts, HISTORY was able to definitively conclude that this is in fact the Ground Zero Flag. The flag has been donated to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
