Yes and I take it down at night because I do not have a light to shine directly on it. I belive that is the right treatment , take it down at night unless you have a light on it?

Funny you should ask..........my wife and I are in the planning stage now, I need to figure out how to put light to the base of a pole. No HOA to worry about, we're on 5 acres out in the desert.........just have to worry about the observatory complaining. Anyone have any ideas short of burying electrical cable out to the base?

Maybe look into solar set ups at the base of the pole, Dont know how powerful they might be but figure with all the "go green!" pushes out there now that there has to be something available. And given your in the desert would seem to be a good fit, would cost you less to run and would be easier to install.

Yes, 24/7.
I feel that it is the least we can do to honor the men and women who have given everything to allow us the right to choose.
History has proven that "Freedom is not Free"

At a time when your country is going thru it's present crisis (similar to ours) flying your flag is what made you strong and will keep you strong. With my deepest appreciation of the American flag I say fly your flag. Stay strong and fight for freedom, economic stability, and family values.....as you always have.....with renewed vigour.
May god bless America.

Flags installed! Did two, flanking the entrance to the house, mounted on the railing of the second story balcony. US flag on one side, Texas flag on the other. I think it looks awesome!

Yes, and proud of it. Heck, I even have one on the vent window of my SS (see my signature for the convertible).

Likewise on the driver's side, and if I could find one that flew in the other direction, I'd put one there too!! :thumbsup:
May have to make one up on the computer/printer...

Old Glory flies at my house when I'm home and my shop when I'm working there. Plus I got a beautiful cloth veterans memorial flag at a garage sale that I drape over the railing on special occasions.

When I bought my house the previous owner (a retired LA county fireman, passed away at the age of 89) had carved a custom flag pole and anchored it in a block of cement in the corner of the front yard. His kids or something drew a buffalo and an elk in the sides of the block when the cement was wet. It isn't the nicest set up in the world, but Old Glory still flies from there every day. I have several neighbors who do the same thing, one an Army vet who also flies the POW-MIA flag. No one would have the guts or the lack of brains to come into my neighborhood and ask us to take them down.

I hope the "NO's are people who either cannot due to HOA's (or similiar) or members from other countries.

Nope, just lazy... don't want to spend the money to light it at night, and IMHO it's better to not fly the flag than to fly it improperly.

At least he's honest.

But, to properly fly the flag isn't hard and if you take it down at night, there is no need to put a light on it.

Wow. I fly a flag and have for many years from my front porch.
76.52% responding also fly a flag.
I do not see anywhere near that % in driving around anywhere.
Very patriotic bunch on this site.....or......
only 115 people have responded out of 657 views. If the other 542 do not fly a flag that would make the % 13.4 which is more in line with what you see in reality.
Sad.

We have had flags stolen out of our yard. The first one was during my first deployment. The state police endind up sitting outside of my house almost nightly until I got back. The only two flags I have now mean far to much to put outside. One was on the casket of my grandfather, and the other I ran up over a palace in Iraq after we took it over in 2003.

Actually I fly a pirate flag most of the time and swap the American flag up there on holidays!

Living on the river must have got into me....

Ironic! Today got a letter from the Landlord that rent will go up 10 bucks in January. It also had some new rules and one was "tenants may not affix any personal objects to the property" and at the bottom it asked me to remove the flag holder from the balcony railing:angry:!
I REFUSE!!! I left him a message that I will not remove it and intend to fly my flag as always!!!:yes:

That requires effort, which is why I responded that I don't because I'm lazy... I'm not a morning person, so getting up 5 minutes earlier isn't going to happen.
