Due to the unstable and unpredictable state of the Ohio River and the weather here in Louisville, there is a possibility that debris, silt, and mud may create unsafe conditions for our runners and walkers, we are cancelling the May 29, 2011 Flags4Vets Memorial Day Weekend walk/run.

We will refund 100% of the money that our runners and walkers have paid to us. Refund checks will be sent by U.S. Mail by June 1, 2011.

Flags4Vets regrets that we had to take this step, and we realize that everything could be just fine by May 29, but we just can’t take the chance that someone might be injured, or that the run/walk doesn’t fulfill the expectations of some of the more dedicated walkers and serious runners.

I can assure you that it wasn’t an easy decision to remove a source of income that funds thousands of flags for Veterans graves.

Thanks for your understanding.

Fred Moore, Executive Director, Flags4Vets
