Flags for Fort Snelling

Join Flags for Fort Snelling to restore the annual tradition of remembrance in honor of our fallen. Every donation, every volunteer, every share makes a difference to our mission. #MNRemembers

It was May 2015, when Minnesotans learned it had been over three decades since American Flags were placed at Fort Snelling on Memorial Day. Learning that this tradition had been lost on everyone was a shock nobody could ignore. Step by step, a small group of patriotic Minnesotans had a plan to slowly grow the organization’s systems both operationally and logistically, to ensure a strong, sustainable structure to support the tradition year after year.
