The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill fraternity brothers, who gained attention for defending the American flag during a protest in April, are hosting a large event called 'Flagstock.' The event is funded by a $515,000 GoFundMe campaign and is expected to attract 3,000 attendees, including students, veterans, and law enforcement personnel. The celebration features performances by artists such as Lee Greenwood, Big & Rich, and Aaron Lewis. The fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, has announced that leftover funds will be donated to the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism and the Wounded Warrior Project. While the event is intended to honor their actions, some fraternity members, like Brendan Rosenbaum, have expressed that the focus is not solely on their support for Israel.
