From the LS Tribune: "Unfortunately, the storm on Friday evening, May 24 destroyed the entire display. The members of Jack Ray Post 5789 sincerely thank all the volunteers that helped retrieve the flags in the rain Friday night and collect the poles on Saturday morning.
Anyone interested in supporting the purchase of materials to rebuild the Avenue of Flags can send a donation to VFW Post 5789, 329 SE Douglas St, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063."
