Donations Needed to Restore the Flag Pole in Northeast El Paso The flag pole is located in the Northeast at Old Glory Memorial. The pole measured at 180-foot that held a 5,000 square foot flag for some time. Anyone who would be driving on US 54 Patriot Freeway would get a glimpse of the beautiful flag. The pole was installed back in 2003 except, due to certain issues, it had to be removed.

The funds that were raised totaled $26,000 but even then that amount still isn't enough. The new installment costs $105,000, which means they're still $79,000 short.
