Minnesota Remembers:
CANCELED at Fort Snelling National Cemetery for 2020
Focus turned to Flag Requests & Fundraising
May 14th, 2020
—We are saddened to confirm Minnesota Remembers Memorial Day Event has been canceled for 2020. In addition to following strict federal orders, it is our genuine concern to keep our patriotic supporters safe and healthy during these questionable times.
A message from co-founder and inventor of The Legacy Flag: Rocky Borchardt
2020 FLAG FUNDRAISER
Fundraising for the Legacy Flag-
A permanent collection for Fort Snelling National Cemetery to last for generations.
Let’s use this season to remind our online friends, family, schools, companies, organizations, VFWs and Legions of the FFFS Mission. Minnesotan’s are rebuilding this tradition together, and we need your help getting the permanent flags we need to sustain it. Ideally, we’ll come back on Memorial Day 2021 armed with these new, beautiful, retractable staffs that will protect each of the 250,000 American flags the way they deserve!
Thank you for your continued support from our Forever Americans!
♦ There are many who have expressed their interest to gather up their own followers and place the flags for us. They are feeling patriotic and while we encourage that energy, we remind everyone there is absolutely no gathering at Fort Snelling to place flags beyond your own personal visit to the cemetery. FFFS Flags will not be available for volunteers to place this year.
♦ There have been calls asking to volunteer in other ways to keep the Memorial Day Spirit alive despite Covid-19, and we cannot agree enough! We would love other assistance with fundraising, making calls and sending emails to local organizations to introduce them to our cause. Reach out to 763-296-3524
