Default Tattered Flags and Flag Lighting

I would suggest a significant percentage of our neighbors knew at least one person who sacrificed their life for our freedom. With that in mind I offer a suggestion and a comment.

Before moving here, a resident in my neighborhood had a faded, tattered flag displayed. Rather than approach them and possibly embarrassing them I bought a new flag and left it along with disposal instructions for the old flag by their front door. The new flag was soon flying proudly and I hope the old flag was properly disposed of.

With respect to lighting at night, I suggest with the number of street lights and front pole lights we have here in TV it is not that much of a stretch to consider that the small flags our neighbors are displaying to honor our fallen warriors are, in fact, illuminated.

Retired military after 22+ years and DAMN proud to see ALL of the flags displayed.
