How about be a good neighbor and bring them a new flag. It's probably some old vet who can't take it down everyday. Also, search out your local Boy Scout Troop they might do this for you and they definitely would retire that flag for you.

If a flag isn't illuminated, it's not supposed to be flown at night. In a neighborhood, I highly doubt that is the case.

Every Boy Scout knows there is a Flag Code.

quote:

When a flag is so tattered that it can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. The American Legion, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA and other organizations regularly conduct dignified flag-burning ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14.

It's a younger baw and his girlfriend with their kid. They don't really talk to anyone on our street and our section of the neighborhood is pretty friendly and hang out often.

On NYE he drove two houses over in his big lifted truck to ask some other neighbors to keep the fireworks down because their baby was trying to sleep. I wouldn't say they aren't friendly but they don't seem like the type that like to be bothered.
