Beautiful Old Glory
This flag is a beautifully made flag, much nicer than the ones you buy at your local discount store. Each star is embroidered onto the blue fabric. The stripes are all each sewn together individually, not just printed onto the fabric. The fabric appears to be a nice, heavy quality that will stand up to the weather. I bought this flag to replace one I had previously purchased at our local discount store that frayed and fell apart a week after I put it up. This measures 3' x 5' so it is a nice, large flag and I feel it is well worth the money. It drapes nicely once hung up, I have mine on a spinner pole so it never gets tangled or wrapped around the pole.
It is appropriate to display the flag everyday (as long as it flies in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Flag Code). The flag should be displayed, from sunrise to sunset, on all days when the weather permits However, its particularly important to fly the flag on the following days:
