Kyle Fox wants to put a smile on people’s faces while they’re feeling good about their country.
That, in a nutshell, is why every summer at the entrance to Grove Creek Canyon, in his hometown of Pleasant Grove, Fox flies the world’s biggest American flag and lights it up with the world’s biggest spotlight.
He’s not trying to get in the Guinness Book of World Records. He’s not on a political crusade. He’s not attempting to make anything great again. There is no ulterior motive. No hidden agenda. He’s definitely not trying to get rich. He couldn’t do it without a good day job (he runs an office furniture business).
The simple truth is that Kyle, 46, is a bit of a showman at heart (more than a bit, some would say) and he’s found nothing that makes him happier than making other people happier.
“Joy is what life is all about,” he says. If you’re not having joy, you’re missing it. I like to make people smile.”
