For the past eight years, a 50-pound American flag has hung over Little Willow Canyon in Sandy, Utah. At 30 feet by 60 feet, the flag is anchored on either side of the canyon and supported by 500 feet of plasma rope, waving proudly in the breeze from Independence Day to the Saturday after Pioneer Day.

When David O. McKay became the ninth president of the Church in 1951, there were only eight operating temples. By the time of his death, the number of temples built or under construction was almost doubled.
