Your American Flag

[Gadgetmonster]

I installed a flagpole last year and have thoroughly enjoyed flying Old Glory. This year I added a second flag, a patriotic eagle.
To me there is something very good about flying our flag.
If you fly an American flag show it off here.

Flags look good. We also fly the American flag at my house. Love seeing it every time I get home from work.

Prior to 9/11, we flew the flag on the 'normal' flag days: Flag Day (June 14th, 2015 BTW), Armed Forces Day (May 16th, 2015), Independence Day, and so forth.

On the morning of 9/11, after the 2nd plane hit, we put up the flag, and installed a spotlight for it. It has flown 24/7 since, only taken down when being replaced with a 'fresh' one (about twice a year).

This flag will not be returned to a 'normal observance schedule' until the war against the terrorists is over, or the last one in the household dies.

I have been wanting to get a flag pole out here for a few years. Toss up between cost and what i want. I have used a small flag pole that you mount on a building. The winds we have here are so strong it has broken several times. Wanting to go with a strong tall pole. Maybe 40 feet or more. I just don't think the telescopic ones will do it. We have too much wind.

If you want keep your pole erect, size really does matter.

So how big is your pole??? Do you wave it in the wind???

I have a 48 star I want to fly, and I'd like to get a Gadsden flag to go with it. I know it's not current, but it's to honor our WWII vets. My brother actually has a 49 star he got during the few months it was a thing.

Thanks! Good Lord blessed us with a beautiful sunset that night.

I bought a house in August, and looked forward to having my first flag.

I have one on the front porch now. I bring it in at night because there's no proper light on it. It's part of the routine now, and I'm glad to have one.

On days with nice weather, I'll go out with a dram of scotch, my 1911 on my side, and a good cigar... That's my enjoyment as I protest the ATF. Hah.

I wish I had a camera that would take good night pictures as I have it lit up nice at night.

I want your property.

Spring project to get ours back up. I repaired the pole and bracket several times since last fall, and finally took it down when the bracket failed completely. So, I'll build something a TAD more robust (no cheap pot metal) and get a good light on it.

You don't want to pay for it! Hell I don't want to pay for it lol

Great flag, and kudos for having a well manicured lawn. Together those really show the pride you have in our country.
