I found Terry at the flea market had the best product for the best price. Locate it close to your light post so you will have an electrical source for the light you will need to illuminate it at night. Several ways to do that, and if you don't want to put near light pole they have solar lights that can be mounted on the flag pole as well as solar spot lights. Flag Day is June 14, which is right around the corner, so now you have a goal. I included the flag pole on my landscape approval so that wasn't a problem.
Of course you're right. That is what I wanted to do from the beginning so that's what I'm going to do. Thanks to all for the input.

I'm surprised how few flags I see flying in The Villages. Everybody should display it.
