Focus Turned to Flag Requests & Fundraising 

May 11th, 2020

—We are saddened to announce that our

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 this questionable times.

We understand that this news might be met by a variety of feelings:

♦ 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 personal visitations. 

♦ 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. 

♦ Others want to know more about The Legacy Flag we are trying so hard to raise the funds for. We are encouraging donations and always taking fundraiser support and ideas- Contact us today!

♦  What about Flag Placement Requests? If you have a loved one you hope to still see honored with an American Flag, please click the link to place a request and we are seeing what we can do to keep patriots connected with their loved ones.
