I tend to disagree....this Community has a large population of Veterans, and a population that grew up in the generation where we were taught what the Flag means. We elect to display our flags for the entire weekend as we believe it helps the meaning of Memorial Day linger. I, like others, line our curb with flags, 3' apart. Our neighbor across the street does the same thing so when you come into our neighborhood you drive between rows of flags. Lots of thanks from our neighbors. While we don't conform to the code, the message is clearly heard.
