I replace the flag on my 21ft flagpole in front of the house each May, unless it needs it sooner. I also have adopted the flag in front of the Section 8 Apartments in the village. I lower it to half staff when needed and raise it back up. On occasion a former Marine who lives there comes out and salutes it with me.

I do not blame the Marine for saluting you, SFC Everett Oliver. You are doing something Very honorable; for your community....and for your country.
Thank You, Sergeant First Class.

Yes. The one on my father's coffin. The Missouri Representative for our district had it flown over the state capitol. It is now in a display case.

I own one that was flown over the Capitol in DC. Got the paperwork and all.

Had a COL that knew how to get it done for Retirees. Granted it's a product of an "Elevator exercise" that is pretty much done on a weekly basis with hundreds of Flags, but there it was Flying High if only for a minute. And it was flown there for me.
