We bought a new one a few months back and it is also from a company that sells ""Made in America"" Flags. We have our on a 30' lit flagpole so it is up 24/7 and during the winter months it really takes a beating. We usually buy one every other year as they get ripped and also start to fade.

New flags always look so nice don't they?

Yes new flags do look nice. but all American flags flying look beautiful.

Does anyone know if Party City sells bunting? I don't have a flag pole, but would like to put bunting on my balcony.

I checked their website and it shows they do.

I raised a flag today (by Anonymous)

A flag with fifty stars
I raised a flag today
A flag with thirteen bars.

I raised a flag today
To honor those who died
I raised a flag today
And then I stood and cried.

I wept and cursed and prayed
And had to wonder "why?"
Angst and anger welled inside me
And then I saw it fly.

The flag snapped briskly in the wind
It unfurled in the sky
Its glory rose above my fears
Its freedom was not denied.

The symbol of our country
The banner of our pride
The flag of these United States
Flew boldly at my side.

I raised a flag today
But the flag, it lifted me.
I raised a flag today
For all the world to see.

I raised a flag today
And upon seeing it, I knew:
Above the ashen gray would rise
The red, the white, and the blue

You don't fly the flag daily? You don't have a flag? You're so politically minded...I thought you'd have one at every window or at least every floor. Why no flag?

We fly a flag every day, proudly.

A house near us has bunting all around the porch railings on two stories of their house - no flag anywhere.

Looks like they are staging a campaign rally.

And maybe they are

We raised her early this morning. She is beautiful. We have a 25 foot flag pole. We will take her down after the weekend. We have smaller flags that are out daily, but we bought the new flag for the flag pole.

My new US-made flag went up, appropriately, on flag day. Replaced the pole too. Both had given long and faithful service.
