The @WarriorGames remind us of the sacrifices our service members make to protect our freedoms. We encourage all visitors to take a moment to see the beautiful flag on the @tampariverwalk made entirely of dog tags from fallen soldiers. We are forever grateful for their service. pic.twitter.com/zPbbZXv7or

There are also 50 gold stars to honor all of the Gold Star families who have sacrificed their sons and daughters to the defense of the nation, according to WTVT.
The flag then is assembled from eight sections to resemble the flag when draped on the casket of a fallen service member.
It is accompanied by a battlefield cross of boots, rifle and helmet, made from mahogany wood, the Times reported.
The flag will be on display through Sunday. It is in Tampa for the Warrior Games.
