Flag pole
Do you raise and lower the flag daily?

I've always wanted a real flag pole, and am looking for a cheap method to acquire one.

Is the flag welcomed in your neighborhood?

SSG(P) (Join to see) I have a flag pole in my front yard. I don't lower it daily, however, I do lower it to half-staff on appropriate holidays. It is lit up at night by a flood light that comes on/off automatically.

I put it up shortly after I bought the house in 2009. It was the first one that went up on our neighborhood, and shortly after other's started to appear, and now there are 7. I get asked about it from time to time. There has never been an issue over it, none that have been brought to my attention. I would be quite surprised if there were to be, as my neighborhood is right outside Fort Stewart's Gate 3.

We now also have a flag pole in our front yard on all of the major holidays. It's being put up by one of the BSA Troops who does it as a fund raiser. At first there were only a few of us in the neighborhood who supported the BSA, but now I have noticed that at least half the houses in our neighborhood have a flag pole up on holidays...I think it is very cool, and I appreciate the BSA kids what they do.

I shall always have a Flag posted. I do not have a flag pole though.

I would never live somewhere that did not allow me to fly the Nations Colors.

I live in an apartment so I can't have a flag pole, but I have asked the complex about putting one up.
