Flying American Flag at Fourth of July (vanity)

06/11

[BunnySlippers]

Having just bought a new home, I m bound and determined to fly the American this July 4th.

I have checked Home Depot and Lowe's and am not satisfied with the options. I want a looking metal or black wall mounted hanger. And a high quality flag ... Preferably cotton and USA made.

Any suggestions for online purchases?

Last year for Christmas my husband bought me a fantastic set up, he got it Michael's Craft Store. The holder is black, sorta looks like rod iron and the flag is made in America.
Good luck, sometimes at this late date the flags are hard to find.
Oh, congratulations on the new home, let the projects begin!

If you Google “flags”, you’ll get a list of several online stores.

Here’s one that sells US-made flags in different sizes and fabrics:

Thank you. I have a Michael’s in the neighborhood.

Yes, the house ... It is in an All American neighborhood. Foot traffic is mothers pushing baby strollers, old ladies power walking. It’s bliss!

World Net Daily seems to sell a good variety of flags with the hardware. Look also along the left side of the following page for all the links:

Since I have had a flag displayed for the past 10 years, I can advise using a nylon flag. Cotton just doesn’t last very long.

WOW. That’s fantastic. Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.

Try this link...

It’s the store for the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. They sell flags that were flown over the Memorial, yeah they are a little more expensive, but...high quality and an interesting flag to have. Comes with a certificate telling you what day the flag was flown.

I got two, both flown on December 7th, 2010.

I prefer to have someone hold my flags... it's more fun that way:

Thank you! They look great.

I buy mine from the Vets when they come around. But you want online.

Very interesting!

[BunnySlippers]

Thank you, I’ll check it out.

[BunnySlippers]

I”ll check it out anyway. Just so it’s here by the holiday. :)

“Since I have had a flag displayed for the past 10 years, I can advise using a nylon flag. Cotton just doesn’t last very long.”

Absolutely correct

Congratulations. Lots of good advice on flags....this year and in the future, I’m trying to call it INDEPENDENCE DAY....seems to make it more REAL...

AC Moore actually has very nice flagpoles and mounts that are metal. I was surprised. And large cotton flags. I did not check where the flag was made as I already have 2.

Excellent suggestion!
