A Maryland sheriff’s deputy on patrol near Cumberland pulled over a car and discovered a trio taking part in a project to drive an American flag across the country.
The occupants, identified as Paul, Andrew and Andrew’s son Brandon, are involved in the "Flag Called Freedom" project, according to the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies posed with the group and their flag "to show support for law enforcement, as well as all flag loving, hardworking, patriotic Americans," according to a post on the sheriff’s Facebook page.

Along the way, they’ve unfurled their massive Old Glory with groups of "patriots" to pose for photos that they post to Facebook. Images of the flag and the journey are available on the page.
