The same flag was previously used during the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders football games. Governors from Nevada and Arizona attended the unveiling ceremony. “America’s promise has always been renewed by generations willing to make this country freer, safer, stronger, and more prosperous than they found it. That is the promise of America. And there is no greater testament to that spirit than Hoover Dam,” Gov.
Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) said. “For generations, Hoover Dam has stood as one of the greatest engineering achievements in American history. It represents determination, ingenuity, hard work, and the willingness of Americans to take on challenges that once seemed impossible,” Gov. Joe Lombardo (R-NV) said. The Hoover Dam was constructed during the Great Depression from 1931 to 1936.
It helped transform the region’s growth as an iconic infrastructure achievement. Twenty-one thousand men worked on the project, according to the press release. It served as a symbol of American ingenuity and resilience. The light display will be visible during the evenings through July Fourth, weather permitting.
