I don’t have flagpole anymore, but Redmond Oregon where I live is officially flag city USA. We rent a house about three blocks from where the volunteers assemble to put out 1,700 flags along the downtown grid of one way streets. There are eight trucks and trailers, but we still get an hour workout each time.

Basically every home on our 18 home culdesac now flies an American Flag 24/7.

To prevent possible vandalism to the flags, most of the other homes install their American flags up high and with the flags attached to their homes or anchored up a high flag
pole with no way to lower or get to the flags.

Our last WWII vet in this area, died earlier this year and his widow, died a couple of months ago. His/their flag is still securely anchored into the outer upper rafter of their garage. You see the flag from the main street and on our cul de sac.

Their wills stated: The flag stayed up until the home was sold. Then, the new owner could take it down or leave it up.
