Despite a slight broken flag holder, I have a flag flying at home today, and the one hanging on the wall at the office has the black crepe stripe

That said, anyone else here tend to fly "oddball" US flags? The office flag is a "standard" 50 star flag

At home, over the years I've flow a 50 star, a 48, a Bennington (that's the one with the 76), a Gadsdon (yellow flag, snake, and don't tread on me - it was a US flag, so still is), and currently a Betsy Ross

Hmm, Martin's even got to moderate himself now. Sign of the times.
I've just got a regular run of the mill flag here. Never thought of flying anything else. Well, besides the skull and crossbones. But that's a different story.

I've flown the 50 star and the Gadsden flag ever since I was deployed to the WTC after 9/11.

Just a high quality 50 star version of Old Glory. It travels with us everywhere, and, weather permitting, sits alongside of our home on wheels, illuminated at night by the "scare" light, also functioning as a weather vane on our home made PVC pole...

I have to get a new flag and mounting system for flying the flag at home.

When I go car camping, I always take a flag pole and flag (50 stars). I stand it up in camp with guide wires. It is the last thing to be packed when I break camp.

If you want instructions for making the flagpole/weathervane, let me know. Not real high in the sky, but no guys needed either...

CSA naval jack (what most people think is the Confederte flag) and 1862 USA one on the conservatory walls.

50 star "Old Glory" for me on a 15' pole that DS and I planted (18" of concrete 24" in dia) as part of his Duty to God (Church) and his Citizenship Merit Badge
