Over the weekend of 9/11, a team of ten people from Flags of Valor ran the 9/11 Promise Run. The run is a 240-mile relay, from the Pentagon Memorial to Ground Zero.

As a veteran owned and operated company, coming home is a major theme among our employees. All of our combat, veteran craftsman served overseas, and we wanted a way to thank those who serve in our backyards and neighborhoods. We come back to our families, our friends, and our communities. These sacred places are protected by our first responders, and that is why we ran in the 9/11 Promise Run.
