What Flag Do You Fly?

Do you fly a flag for your business or organization? How long will your flag last?

Experience has proven that this is an impossible question to answer accurately. It is like predicting the weather, airborne contamination, and the treatment of the flag.

Does it stay up in all weather conditions, located in an open space with full sun and high enough to capture wind daily?

While we can't control the wind, water or sun, we can control how we care for our flags.

• Occasional washing in warm mild-detergent water will prevent dirt and pollutants from attacking the fabric. To prevent mildew, let your flag dry thoroughly before storing it. 
• Have your flag repaired at the first sign of fraying, don't' wait for it to be blown to shreds. 
• Continuous day and night display will shorten a flag's life.
• If your flag is not illuminated at night, you should consider taking it down to appreciably lengthen its life. 
• Special event flags can be stored and used periodically but take care not to loose parts needed to display the flag later. 

Indoor flags will have a much longer life since they are not subject to the elements! 

Remember your flag shakes... trembles ...drapes ... whips... snaps ... ripples ... flutters .. quivers ...furls ... twists ... flaps ... and flies!

With the 4th of July coming up- we ask....

Do you know the proper way to care for and use an American Flag ?
