I have noticed businesses that fly our national colors. But some of them i have seen are flying torn shredded unserviceable flags. If you see this and have taken the oath, or not taken the oath please advise them to take them down properly and immediately. My own post office had an unserviceable flag years back and i had to school them on it. Now, lots of time its not intentional. They just dont know. But those stars and stripes stand for what hundreds of thousands of Americans died for so you and I can live ( free) in these great states. If they are so proud to fly the colors then do it correctly. I fly mine lighted with a light dedicated to it at night. If anyone going on rte 73 in berlin goes past the macco let me know if they have fixed it yet. I called corporate and they said they would take care of it. Google proper USflag display or US flag code of conduct. If not flown properly it is a dis justice for the men and women that gave their lives for it

 

 

You sir are a great American.  I too, fly two flags at home and inform those who fail to follow proper flag decorum.   Being a former BSA leader, we would regularly make sure all the scouts understood what the flag represents.  The boys would collect retired flags locally and we would hold flag burning ceremonials at sundown during campouts or other special occasions.  The local troop continues this practice today, as well as, volunteering to place flags on the graves of veterans at local cemeteries for Memorial Day.  It is a shame are education system has failed in teaching basic citizenship.

Yes. When my flag becomes unserviceable i put them in the mailbox at my local vfw in lawrenceville. I think we all need to do our part for our departed heroes and let these businesses know why and how to fly our national colors. Knowledge is power. If anyone needs flags of any size or anything dealing with flags. Ive been using kempton flags. They are located right before the pt pleasant bridge on rte 34 If you call them for an order i usually get it within 2 days. I usually keep an extra one in stock so i am not without. Also. There is by law no sales tax on US flags.

Not a American Flag but since my little brother is a Marine. The diner by us at the Somerville circle was flying a torn and tattered USMC flag a few years ago before the new ownership. We bought a new one and brought it to the manager to replace it. I always forget to check its current condition when I drive by there now.

Keep an eye. Keep them in order. Btw. Hey whats happening. Havent seen you since last spring.

I always liked Annin flags. Made in NJ and supplied the Apollo missions.

 

Minnesota has a law that no foreign made US flags may be sold. I wish that was a federal law.

Thats what kempton sells annin flags.

I was walking in Hoboken one afternoon and I saw an American flag plainly atop a pile of trash on the curb outside of a store. Theres no telling how many people had walked by and ignored it. My blood boiled in 0.8 seconds, but I calmly pulled it out, folded it, and took it home for disposal.

 

I chose not to confront the store since I wasn't going to say anything nice at that moment.

the hardware store i work at takes them and passes them on to one of the vet associations (unsure wich, i just know the guy i give them to) for proper disposal

Thanks!

Unrelated, but I'm stoked. I bought a 48 star flag last summer. Need a good home for it.

I usually fly a USS Arizona flag but need a new one. In the mean time, flying a nylon one which we recently combined with a 'Green Light a Vet" theme.
