Default Old glory

thanks to all that responded

from what i read, wind seems to be an issue...as a "wannabe" i will trust the comments from resident Villagers in that regard

first, it good to know that there are not restrictions, as far as any of the responders know, to flying Old Glory on the outside of your home

i am also pleased to know that some understand the requirements to illuminate the flag at night....sooooooo many people don't know that

for those that are interested, on a recent lifestyle visit...we found a ground mounted flag pole (with 3 ground spikes....pole in the shape of an upside L) at the Mercantile in LSL. Not sure it it would stand up to the wind many posters describe...but...it was not that expensive and may be worth a try.

On the negative side, i am somewhat surprised at the (low) number of posts in respone to my original post. What has happend to us....after 9/11 everyone posted the colors...and now......well..................

thanks to all that responded.....your comments were very helpful to this wannabe

where there is a will there is a way....FLY THE FLAG......be proud...be respectful of the symbol of your country....think about it...where would you be/what would you have if u lived somewhere else
