A Patriotic Reminder

veteran, I remind,you to 50'- 60' 10x15'

with tears and faded
colors among residential 155' - 200' 30x50'
and commercial busi- %

nesses alike.
The flag, when it js in such condition that it is no longer a fitting em-
blem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by
burning. American Legion posts and Boy Scouts of America are very
active in Walsh County and perform this ceremony at least once a year.
There is a drop box for unserviceable flags outside the Administra-
tive Building in Grafton for anyone wanting to properly dispose of their
flag.
Conditions of deterioration include fading, shredding ripping, dirt
and grime that cannot be cleaned, and torn or damaged halyards and
grommets that cannot be repaired. So if you have a neighbor, friend,
or relative that displays the Stars and Stripes, make sure they proper-
ly dis/l,and replace it whenever it becomes unserviceable.
A i o United States Code Title 36 Chapter 10 (The Flag Code),
(a) .universal CUStom to display the flag only from sunrise to
sunset on buildings and'on stationary flag staffs in the open. Howev-
er, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed twen-
ty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of dark-
ness. (b) The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.
(c) The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is in-
clement, except when an all-weath flag is displayed.
Finally, be sure to display the proper size and type of flag, i.e, all-
weather, outdoor, indoor, etc.
More information about the United States Flag can be found at
http://www.usflag.org and more information about purchasing a flag
can be found at http://www.united-states-flag.com or http://www.get-

Flag Pole/Flag ratio
For an outdoor flag on an in-ground flag pole the most common way
to size your flag is by the height of the pole. The length of the flag should
be at least 1/4 theheight of the pole.
For a pole that attaches to your house we recommend a 2.5x4' flag
on a 5' flag pole, or a 3x5' on a 6' pole.
The biggest factor in hanging these flags is that you don't want the
flag to touch anything (bushes, trees, gutters, siding, door knobs, etc.)
when it flies. Anything touching the flag will shorten the life by caus-
ing early wear and tear on the flag.
To get the flag but away from Be house try our 8' poles which fit into
all the same brackets as the smaller Ones but protect your flag better.
