I have always felt a sense of pride and respect for our flag and have been angered by those who desecrate it in any way or burn it. I have written letters to the Editor of the Daily Herald expressing my feelings about those who disrespect it. I decided to get a tall flag pole on which I could fly a larger flag so in June, 1998 I got one at Colonial Flag located at 9390 S. 300 W. in Sandy, Utah. It is a beautiful, burnished, aluminum pole 30 feet high that will never rust.The regular size flags most people have are 3 x 5 ft. The ones I fly are 5 X 8.
The sales lady said those made of polyester fabric stand the strong winds better so that's what I got. If the winds increase beyond 30 MPH I take it down so it doesn't get beat up and damaged. It was quite a task to get it installed. Dave Lindstrom and some other neighbors helped me get it up and set straight.
I took the picture of the flag flying with my digital camera. You can see the top of the house.
