To revive and reroot the honored tradition of placing an American Flag at every headstone of Fort Snelling National Cemetery on Memorial Day by organizing the fundraising, volunteers, and flags needed to achieve the massive annual tradition.

FFFS started with a meager three thousand little American flags that hardly stood taller than the beautiful grass of the cemetery grounds. But thanks to the reach of social media and the support of the news media, matched with the effort of masses of Minnesotans, we keep passing our growth milestones at incredible speed!

Within 3 years, our organization went from placing a few thousand little flags, to 10,000 of the 30″ standard size staffs, then onto 50,000 and finally, yes finally we covered the cemetery grounds with nearly 200,000 flags! And we intend to do the same every year for generations to come, but with the new sustainable option of the retractable flags.
