Tomorrow is the day hundreds of volunteers will work in unison, placing 7,582 flags, 7,582 photos, and 7,582 dog tags on Art Hill. Please consider sponsoring a flag and help cover the cost of mailing each flag to its hero's family after the display ends.https://t.co/2cdIJ5mFfO

Thank you @gogeco! Flags of Valor arrived on Art Hill this morning. Due to the rain tomorrow they will be covered and have to wait for Sunday morning at 7:00am to go into service.

[FlagsofValorSTL @FlagsofValorSTL]

Unfortunately due to the forecast of rain/storms tomorrow with lightening predicted, Flags of Valor flag install has been moved to Sunday, September 5th • 7 am - 10 am. The flag blessing ceremony will likely happen Sunday evening.

[FlagsofValorSTL @FlagsofValorSTL]

With four days until 7,582 flags stand at attention, we need your help. Will you please honor their memories and sponsor a flag?

Have you wondered how 7,500+ dog tags are matched with the photo of the hero? It takes more heroes. Thank you to the the City of Manchester’s Veterans Commission. https://t.co/NfyoU7VkZd

When they speak of a giving soul with a big heart, they're speaking of someone like Paul Carlock. We thank him for all he has done. Read more about him here: https://t.co/u2veXOVxKx

Thank you, @HEC_TV, for this beautiful video. Like a well-choreographed ballet, 7,500+ flags will be on Art Hill as a promise to all Gold Star Families that we will not forget. #NeverForget https://t.co/zNdNWTKHDT

It's hard to believe we're just one month away from flag installation & the opening of the 2021 memorial, but we still need your support! Visit the link to sponsor a flag & help to ensure every family receives their hero's flag after the memorial closes.

Today we remember the commitment and sacrifice of Sgt. Zachary Fisher, KIA in Afghanistan on July 14, 2010. Says Fisher's stepfather, "He wanted to come home to his wife and have a life afterwards, but he was just as committed to what he did in the army as he was to that life."

[FlagsofValorSTL @FlagsofValorSTL]

We are proud to share that all 7,600 memorial flags have been assembled! Thank you to the many volunteers, donors, & sponsors who have joined us in our commitment to honor our fallen heroes. Founder Rick Randall said it best: this means so much to so many.

Did you know? Each flag is perfectly spaced on Art Hill thanks to our friends and volunteers at Castle Contracting. Says Castle, “[Our] team includes Veterans, members of the Reserves, and partners with family members who served, so it is a beautiful tribute close to our hearts.”

[FlagsofValorSTL @FlagsofValorSTL]

Sponsoring a flag helps to cover the cost of each flag and dog tag, enables us to mail each flag to its hero's family after the display ends, and supports four great charities: @semperfifund, @MissouriMMF, @gslhonorflight, and @PatriotTrngFdn. https://t.co/C2xm7NCZYa
