SUMMARY:Veterans Walk of Flags - Flag Day
DESCRIPTION:Veterans Walk of Flags -\n\nThe Veterans Walk of Flags is a moving tribute to our veterans with 1\,862 flags displayed in 10 areas around town: Veterans Park\, NP Park\, Court House\, Junius Ave.\, Union Ave.\, Wright Park\, Neese Park\, City Hall Park\, Friberg/Summit Ave.\, and the Minnesota Veterans Home. Flags are displayed 10 times per year (weather permitting): Loyalty Day\, Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, Purple Hearts Day\, Labor Day\, POW/MIA Day\, Columbus Day\, Veterans Day.\n\n\n\nVOLUNTEERS are needed to install/take down the flags each day: 7:30-8:30am and 4:30-5:30pm.\n\n\n\nThe Fergus Falls Veterans Walk of Flags began September 2\, 2002. Perrie Sheldon came up with the idea after visiting his son and daughter-in-law in Sheldon\, Iowa and viewing the town's "Avenue of Flags"\, where his son had purchased a flag in Perrie's name to honor him. He thought that would be a great idea for Fergus Falls and along with co-founder\, Stan Morrill\, had various meetings and discussions with the City of Fergus Falls. The late Mayor Kelly Ferber gave the project the go-ahead. Soon after that it was named "Veterans Walk of Flags" and would start in Veterans Memorial Park in Fergus Falls. Flags were sold at $75 a piece to honor any veteran\, living or deceased\, who served in any war with an Honorable Discharge. There is a "waiting list" to purchase flags as the volunteers/trailers are at capacity. If there are at least 30 more volunteers\, more flags can be purchased for more veterans.\n\n\n\nThey are put up around 7:15 a.m. by volunteers working out of 4 different trailers and taken down at 4:30. Volunteers are always welcome! \n\n\n\nThe Veterans Walk of Flags\, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit independent organization. All contributions are tax deductible and are accepted at any time.
