My original plan was to install a lighted pole in my yard, so I could fly Old Glory around the clock. Somehow or other, that grand scheme was put on hold, where it remains to this day.

I have some space issues, so may never do this.

But, I always fly my flag from my on-the-wall holder for appropriate holidays, and often the Saturday & Sunday preceeding them. In addition, I stick a half dozen smaller flags in the front yard on these occasions. So do most of my neighbors.

One neighbor has a lighted flag on their wall, so they have the flag up and waving all the time.

Lastly, my golf cart has two flags permanently affixed to it. I have to replace them about every year, as they get pretty tattered, but these are inexpensive ones, found at Ace Hardware.
