Deseret News | Stadium of Fire lights up the 4th:

All 50,000 people in BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium fell silent and many eyes filled with tears as a 13-year-old American flag about half the size of the football field was brought in by more than a dozen men in uniform and retired with a blaze in the middle of the field.

This was the culmination of Stadium of Fire, an annual event presented by America's Freedom Festival in Provo.

'If our American flag could speak, oh, the stories she would tell,' said Glenn Beck, the host and nationally renowned political commentator. 'She is what we make of her and nothing more.'"
