I will try to be more careful with small US flags. It just seemed to be people displaying their patriotism to me to have the many small US flags you see in some neighborhoods on patriotic holidays. Some areas have hundreds in the Villages' neighborhoods.

Thank You Tal for that link. I kind of thought that no matter the size a flag should never touch the ground.I also found it interesting that it should not be placed where it can be splattered or soiled.Lots of the flags I see in the neighborhoods around holidays are right at the curb where anyone could splash it after a rain.Plus folks put them right next to the storm drains.
