Who still flys Old Glory?

Out front all day, every day.

I'm on my 3rd one at this house and only buy 100% Made in USA ones. The first two started to fade and one started to come apart at the seams from being outside all the time; one is now behind my squat rack and the other is over my workbench in the garage.

Since a few weeks into owning the house, 17 years ago, 24x7x... well, not year round. Comes down over XMAS season as it looks stupid mixing the messages since we decorate the front of the house. Yes, lit all the time also.

Wife is Canadian, so it's in the proper place per 4 U.S.C. § 7 to it's right, when changed the Canadian flag comes down first, etc.

Change about 2x a year, always keep 2-3 on hand so if there's a snag, or I just notice that it looks bad, stop and change it out.


Vehicles all have the same treatment, flags on the back. Little or no other stickers, but full color, no thin any-color lines, etc. US/CDN flags.
 
Damn, now I feel like a lazy asshole. I haven't gotten around to putting up a pole because I haven't done a light yet.

And I'd have to count on my wife to raise and lower it as needed. Drives me nuts my neighbor never lowers his when we're at half mast. His is also torn and tattered, damn shame.

Basically, I figure I'm better off with nothing at all than half assing it.
