Decided to include a picture of the flag (which is why it's in check-it-out and not the praise forum)
The google map picture really doesn't do it credit... although it does illustrate one of the unique things about this flag.
The flag sits on the lot of a car dealer and according to their website it's the biggest flag in the state and I can believe it. My BF said it was "battle size" ... I'm not sure what size that is but it's definitely bigger than the holiday flags we flew on the ships.
But more than that... he's flying it properly. It can't be cheap, not with a flag that big but... it's always in good condition, even though he flies it 247. And yes he has a spot light for it for night-flying too.
But from the photo you can see it's at half mast. That's the other thing he does.
Whenever anyone from the local battalion dies he flies the flag at half mast - one day for each person. Right now it's at full-mast which is how I like seeing it most.
But ... that's what I like about this dealer. He treats the flag with respect... and takes it a step further in showing respect to the local troops.
