Show me yours!

Me too... off of amazon. I mounted mine on top of the fence so I’m getting more illumination than typical. Works great. Might be a little tough to see. I’ll try to get a decent night shot. View attachment 570417

I may try a spotlight from the ground later on once I get a feed wire buried.

You guys got me thinking on this. My thought now is to put up a flagpole near the water so passing boats and ships could see it. I would just power it off of the house on a photocell. How high are yours?

... once I get a feed wife buried.

Does your wife know about this ? :laughing:

Mine is 30' but it is only up 25' at the moment.

Haha Thanks, I didn't catch that.

My HF telescoping pole is 20ft (nothing buried) but looks shorter due to the end of the fence mounting.

Now considering a POW/MIA flag but I understand it must be flown under the U.S. flag. I wanted to fly it with my Marine Corps flag.

Father-in Law accidentally put his Alaska flag up upside down and the State Troopers paid him a visit to see if anything was wrong of if he was mad about something.

It's heart warming that some traditions are still adhered to. It's amazing in this day and age if they are still only remembered.

Very true!

Always love to see the stars and stripes properly displayed...:thumbsup:

Flag threads pop up fairly often...many are gone because the subject drifted over the line...
IMO...whenever a (USA) flag thread is started it should link to or quote proper flag display etiquette rules...not following protocol is actually being disrespectful which sort of nixes the patriotic feeling displaying one gives...

The entire document should be read by anyone displaying the US flag...for one of the most frequent misconceptions see page 12 of the doc link below...

Thanks for that. Everyone should brush up on proper flag etiquette. I'd fly no flag before flying a United Nations flag. I would also serve time in the Brig before fighting under a UN Commander.

Funny, how the UN flag "apparently " depicts a flat earth. Just saying. I found that interesting.

Recently in Lowe's hardware and they had a US flag disposal 'station'. It was overflowing. It touched me a bit to see how many were bringing their old tattered flags in. As a scout, I learn a proper burning. I have several retired and folded properly. I think I will go to Lowe's an ask for their procedure.

It is not considered disrespectful to fly such a flag even during prolonged periods of inclement weather.

This is 8 months out of the year around here. :laughing:

And sadly, we only have a month to go on the good side.

I think the Solar Light is gimmicky. Looks brighter in the photos then it actually is. It lasts all night now but doubtful when the temperatures drop.

Lens moved closer (top of fence instead of on ground)

With 2 eagle scouts been doing flag retirements for years . Most troops don't advertise that they do it and most people don't know what to do with their old flags. One guy gave us 12 flags . Last eagle ceremony we had 50 flags and many stories of loved ones that paid the ultimate price. I have a drawer gromets and strings from many special events. It's nice how people are moved by a proper flag retirement. Oh yea mine always flies proud.:thumbsup::drink:

Lighting is much better from below. Your flag is well illuminated and beautiful.
