| I used to be the only one in the neighborhood who flew the flag. Then came 9/11 and several other neighbors flew a flag. I wore out 2 flags over the next two years.
Today I have our flag our for the 4th, and the only other neighbors who fly the flag on our block are from England! |

| Mine has been up for a couple of weeks. My flag is getting faded. I purchased it in the spring of 2001 and flew it every day after 9/11 for about a year or so. |

| We fly ours every day along with the Texas flag, and yes, they are both lit properly at night. |

| A big salute to terilyn,,, As a vet, and one who was taught the proper respect for how to fly the flag, there is nothing I hate worse than to see a flag on top of the pole on a dark night. Properly a flag should be flown from sunup till sundown..and it may only be flown after sundown if it is illuminated. |

| Ours is up every day of the year and down at night (no light on it, that's the only reason, I guess.) NICE PHOTO, flamingo! Looks a lot like ours in our front yard...we love to see it 'blowin' in the wind' as we come and go. Thanks for sharing all! nola anne |

| I found the cutest solar light stakes in the shape of small flags at RKO this year. I also bought two for my aunt. The solar light even lit up being quite near my porch hung with bunting and with the porch light on. |

| We fly the flag daily and have been doing so for about 30 years. At a previous home, the flag pole was in the front yard and I raised the flag at dawn and took it in before dark. Our flag now is on a porch post and is lit at night. |

| I didn't know that flags should be taken down at sunset, unless lit. Thanks for the lesson in flag etiquette. Beautiful flag Flamingo. KayJones, hugs to your son. |
