Testimonials on Behalf of the Festival of Flags
“Over the years we have attended many Memorials, Parades and Military Ceremonies with great pride and honor. We have never attended a finer Memorial Day tribute to all our veterans than the Festival of Flags. We all felt great pride and honor as your guests. It is from the bottom of our hearts that we thank you for your great patriotism and your love of country.”
- The Pearl Harbor Survivors Association
North Cascade Chapter 5“For many in Whatcom County, the Festival of Flags is the place to go to celebrate Memorial Day the right way…because Moles takes it upon itself every year to transform its Greenacres Memorial Park into a flag-draped sanctuary for remembering those in the US military who have fallen in the line of duty.”
- Ferndale Record Journal
"I still remember the first year that I came to this 'Festival of Flags' event. As I pulled into the cemetery and saw all of the hundreds of flags standing out boldly along the way I was awestruck by the beauty, the magnificence, the reverence of that moment. It made me think just how Abraham Lincoln must have felt that day at Gettysburg when he remarked of those remembered - they had given 'their last full measure of devotion'. If you have never been to this event, please grab up your children, your grandchildren, and come. But be prepared and know this - this 'Festival of Flags' memorial event will change you, it will break your heart, it will swell your heart with pride, it will stir you so deeply inside that you will never get over it - I never have."
