Not much control over the winds , just replace and move on

Yeah, improperly displayed flags bother me too.

And that folks is the way it should be looked at!!! Yes, dad served in country for the Korean War and in Vietnam. I asked him would he like to go visit either while his sight was still decent. He replied, "Hell NO! I ain't left nothing in either of those places that I want back!"

If your father hasn't visited the Korean War and Vietnam memorials in Washington DC you might check out Honor Flight. (google will lead the way)

It's a one day trip (fly out early come back late) and they set up a bus/driver but require an escort (i.e. a family member or volunteer). Very well organized and they go to the n-th degree to help those with physical limitations - I got to fly home with about 50 veterans couple years back. From the moment they boarded that flight until we touched down in DFW American Airlines and the volunteers treated the veterans like dignitary - rightfully so.

American Airlines out of DFW provided nurses/doctors/liaisons to support the veterans - the captain let people talk over the microphone and tell short stories over the flight.

I've flown hundreds of thousands of miles all over the world and that was the best flight I've ever been on. If you go, bring a hanker-chef as your eyes might get a little watery.

I'm a bit of a flag snob. The other day I put up a 20' flag pole at my new house. I got a solar powered LED light with a photocell so it comes on when it gets kind of dark. Even though I have a light shining on it, I'm not sure it's bright enough. It illuminates it but not really bright. I think it should be like BRIGHT bright. Not sure what I'll do about it.

I have my 2 grandfathers flags that were on their caskets I need to get some sort of display containers for. Any recommendations?

I have about 7 flags, USA and Texas, that we retired over the years from my fire station. I planned on covering a wall in my 'man cave' with them but not sure if that's acceptable or not. It would be done tastefully but I don't know. What do y'all think about that idea? Yes or no?

I have a question about this topic. I found an old flag that was taken down for proper disposal. I took it home and hung it in my shop. Is this acceptable?

Acceptable I'll leave that to someone else, but it appears to be correctly hung, Union top your left.

I know that there has been a bunch of people burning, stomping and worse to our flag.
But what gets me is when a person displays the flag and they let it fly till its just tatters.
Am I the only one?

Your not the only one...

What bothers me more is all the other countries flags flying in the great USA if you want to be here so bad fly our flag

Fly the American flag high and any other countries lower. Period

Your not the only one. I recently stopped at the Volunteer Fire Department in the town I grew up in and took it down. Called the one guy I knew was a member and told him. He was embarrassed and Thanked me. My question was "if your so embarrassed why let it get so bad, he said he never looked at it." REALY??? I look at every Flag I past. Usually belt out a very bad sounding version of the Star Spangled Banner every time also!

me too

I've been called the flag nazi for all the calls, e-mails, visits folks get from me about their flags--whether tattered, unlit at night, used by RE companies for advertisement (flag at ever mailbox on the street that end up there at night, laying on the ground, etc). Home Depot is the worst offender in Seguin, by far.

So I guess you could say it bothers me a bit.

I've made a call or too as well

Displaying a tattered flag indoors like your talking about away from more damage ain't so bad. Not sure if someone giving a flag up for proper disposal intended it to be taken and re-used...


And I fly my American Flag 24/7/365. It is one of the good ones (I buy at a flag store) and on an angled pole and has the porch light lighting it up at night. The blue is starting to fade so it's time to replace. I take my old flags to the local Boy Scout Troop for disposal.

I fly a flag 24/7 in front of our home, alternating from the U.S. to the Texas and back when they get faded or torn. I don't care what anybody thinks about it; it will continue.
