A few days after the tragic events of 9/11/2003, I built and erected a 35 foot flagpole at my shop and now I fly the Stars and Stripes every day. I am a little embarrassed that it took a tragedy like that to inspire me but at least I do it now. I have seen, we all have, so many examples of others who were similarly inspired by that time and who put up flags which are now hanging weathered and neglected. It is a good thing to display the flag of your country, whichever country that might be, but, PLEASE ---- do it right!!
