The resolution honors Roy Brook, a dedicated community role model recognized by the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce and Hoover Veterans Committee for his unwavering support of the ideals of freedom and the United States military. Known as the "flag man," Brook has made significant contributions to the Birmingham-Hoover area by attending various events, including military funerals and celebrations, where he proudly displays the American flag as part of The American Flag Project. His commitment to honoring veterans and first responders is evident in his efforts to maintain American flags at key locations, including the Jonathan Michael Gilotti Memorial Bridge, where he ensures the flags are kept in proper condition.

Brook's journey began after his retirement from a trucking career, motivated by a desire to counteract disrespect towards the flag he witnessed on Memorial Day in 2016. Since then, he has dedicated nearly a decade to honoring those who serve the country and fostering a sense of unity among Americans through his flag displays. The resolution concludes by recognizing Brook's service and contributions to the community, declaring him deserving of the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce and Hoover Veterans Committee Freedom Award, and extending the highest commendations for his efforts.
