U.S. Flag Awards

Our SAR Chapter’s Flag Committee would like your help in finding businesses or individuals who properly display the American Flag. Briefly, here are some quick ways to spot such a display:   ·         A flag is displayed only during daylight in good weather. It is taken down when it gets dark or if it starts to rain or snow. A flag may be displayed at night in good weather if it is lighted. ·         When displayed on a wall, the flag's canton should be on the left as you view it. ·         The Flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.  NOTE: “Advertising purposes” has been taken to mean the use of multiple U.S. flags at car dealerships and other businesses. It is usually proper to display only one U.S. flag.   Personally, I would like to recognize businesses and individuals who take the time to properly display our flag, ahead of recognition for government agencies. (Taking care of the flag is, I believe, part of a government entity’s job.)  For more information on flag etiquette, see the SAR Guidelines on Displaying the Flag Properly.   Please let me know by, or in person at a SAR chapter meeting, if your see a display of the flag in our area that you believe is worthy of recognition by the SAR.    John Sloan Flag Committee Chairman Here are some recent Flag Day presentations by the MDL Chapter: Flag Certificate Presentation  at Waterworks Car Wash by Marquis de Lafayette Members - John Sloan, Paul Grimes and President Mike Tomme.  9-7-2007 Flag Certificate Presentation  at PacCar  by Marquis de Lafayette Members - John Sloan, Paul Grimes and President Mike Tomme.  9-7-2007 Flag Presentation at Lazy Boy Furniture by by Marquis de Lafayette Members - John Sloan, Paul Grimes and President Mike Tomme. 9-7-2007 Flag Certificate presented to First State Bank Stockbridge by Marquis de Lafayette Members. 6-14-2007 Flag Certificate presented to LDS Church in PTC by Marquis de Lafayette Members -Chairman John Sloan, President Tomme and Vice President Bo Hill.6-23-2007 Flag Certificate presented to Tanger Outlet by Marquis de Lafayette Members-Bo Hill, Paul Grimes, Doug Stansberry, Walt Reed and Mike Tomme. 6-14-2006 Flag Certificate presented to Haisten Funeral Home-by Marquis de Lafayette-Members-Bo Hill, Paul Grimes, Doug Stansberry, Walt Reed and Mike Tomme. 6-14-2006     Flag Certificate presented to Truett's Grill by Marquis de Lafayette Members-Bo Hill, Mike Tomme, Paul Grimes, Walt Reed and Doug Stansberry. 6-14-2006     Flag Certificate presented to Park Ave Bank by the Marquis de Lafayette Chapter.
