The \u201croad to America250\u201d installation honors service members who died in the line of duty,and Nevada and Arizona governors attended the unveiling. The flag-measuring 300 feet wide by 150 feet tall and weighing about 2,000 pounds-had previously been used for NFL game displays by the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders. Built from 1931 to 1936, the dam is also being highlighted as a historic engineering achievement, and the lights are planned to be visible each evening through July Fourth, weather permitting.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hoover Dam, which lies on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ag-barr-destroys-his-name-for-all-eternity-his-actions-today-confirm-he-is-just-another-card-carrying-swamp-rat\/\" title=\"AG Barr Destroys His Name for All Eternity - His Actions Today Confirm He Is Just Another Card-Carrying Swamp Rat\">state line<\/a> between <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nevada\/\">Nevada<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/arizona\/\">Arizona<\/a>, is getting a star-spangled upgrade for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/america-250\/\">America 250<\/a>, complete with lights and a massive American flag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation launched the \u201croad to America250\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fort-liberty-new-names-proposed-for-fort-bragg-other-army-bases\/\" title=\"Fort Liberty?
