American Flag Replacement

[mekender]

Our Fleet Reserve Association Branch does a ceremonial Flag Retirement each year in September. We gather flags all year
and invite the local fifth-grade classes to witness. That's when I would retire my old flag if it needed it. My flag-pole is still
in the planning stage; I display my flag on Memorial Day, Veterans' Day, July 4th, and Pearl Harbor Day. It still looks new
after twenty years.

Your local Boy Scout Troop will gladly take donated old flags for a retirement ceremony too.

Always loved doing those ceremonies.

Did anyone else look at the thread title and think it was asking what flag would replace the Stars & Stripes when the United States fell in a dystopian near-future?

Yes.

I also fly my flag daily, and have since 9/11. I also replace it on Memorial Day, thanks for reminding me, Mike. Got one that's made in the USA, too!

I like that flag, but how to make it in a manner that it's obvious we don't want OUR OWN government to tread on us (as well as anyone else)??

Now that I think about it a flag with just the blue field would be pretty cool.

I am due for a replacement also. I don't fly it as much as I used to because it just gets torn up so fast. The last time I got an 8' x 15' or thereabouts, it seems like it was near $300 with shipping, so i am a little more stingy about how and when I fly it. The other drawback is that there are only a couple people who ever see it when its up because we are so far from the road. You guys got me fired up to fly it though - especially since memorial day is coming up.

So the Navy Jack? Or just plain blue, no stars?
