This summer, A4AL helped more than 500 Americans purchase USAID flags for their Members of Congress. These flags serve as a reminder of USAID's incredible legacy, and its contributions to diplomacy and development around the world.

That legacy was built by veterans, diplomats, Peace Corps volunteers, implementers, and USAID officers who worked side by side to keep our country safe from disease, terrorism, and instability; small business owners who believe our economy is stronger when we lead; students who

still dream of serving their country's humanitarian mission; and the taxpayers who made that mission possible.

Read more about the people who purchased each of those flags for your state, and how foreign assistance through USAID helped the people of your state below.
