Use the big one in the sky. Detail someone to take down the flag
at night or in the rain. I know that a floodlight on a flag
makes
it polite to fly it all night, and I don't mean to sound preachy,

there are so many pathetic, faded, sodden flags out there.
You do not sound preachy, I agree with you 100%. Tattered flags are
disrespectful. I take the flag down at night unless illuminated and
keep it out of the rain if possible. My local dry cleaner cleans
American flags free. I always have an additional new flag on hand and
replace them regularly. Also, I dispose of the old flags through The
American Legion. Personally, my wife and I think our flag looks great
illuminated against the night sky as it flutters in a soft breeze.
