I guess it wouldn't sound as catchy if you mention that they were opposed
to the pole, not the flag. There are other tasteful ways of flying the
flag. Do you absolutely need a 21' pole?

The size of the flag pole might be determined by the size of the flag.

At some point ones needs a light on the pole, lighting the flag at
night.

There is a protocol when displaying or retiring the flag for the day.

Sample: Stars are pointed a certain direction - different if displayed
north or south, east or west -- stationary on you home.

While we're on the subject, is it proper to wash the American flag? Our
fire trucks carry large flags and some get quite dirty. Hubby and I
donated a couple of new ones for a 9/11 anniversary, but they are rather
expensive. I'd offer to take the flags home and wash them if it was
okay. Hate to see it displayed the wrong way.
