Redmond earned the nickname "Flag City USA" due to its long-standing tradition of displaying American flags throughout the city on patriotic holidays. The designation was officially recognized by the U.S. Congressional Record, highlighting the city’s commitment to honoring veterans, first responders, and the broader community through these displays www.flagcityusa.us+1. The initiative began in 1991 and has grown into a major community effort involving local businesses, civic organizations, and volunteers. Redmond, OR non-profit organization showing support for military, veterans, & community by lining the streets with our collection of 1400+ American flags!

35 to 40 volunteers assemble at 5:45AM and 5:45 PM to put out and take up flags from eight trailers. We put out flags for all the holidays except MLK day, because the streets can often be treacherous with snow and ice. I started volunteering when I moved there a few years back. I found I could walk from my house to the post office where they assembled.

It began in 1991 to welcome back a reserve unit sent to Saudi Arabia. At the time when I lived in Eugene a reserve unit went there and a motel put out its flags and were forced to remove them, because someone complained that it was an illegal display of the American flag.

I just love the red, white & blue!

Some would say her dress is disrespectful to our flag, what say you?

[bankwalker]

she looks great, but that is very disrespectful to the flag.

I can remember when the commie hippies started the trend of wearing clothing made of flags.

Exactly. And patriots wear flag clothing as a sign of their patriotism. Nothing not to love about that.

If he passes muster, I think she does.

Great job! Please make sure that Redmond Oregon isn't mistaken for Redmond of Washington State, home of Microsoft.

Wearing flag-themed gear is a symbol of expression, as determined by the Supreme Court. I say much depends on the general public's overall tolerance and what separates good taste from bad.

Flag shorts? Good.
Flag underwear? Questionable.
Flag diapers? Git the rope.

Don't forget the letter "L" in flag if you write about hanging one.
