Interesting facts: All of the flags used for military funerals have been flown over the White House. There are workers at the Capitol whose job it is, to hoist flags up and down all day. The flags are flown for about 10 seconds.
WW2 veterens are dying at a rate of 800 per day. Yes, that is the correct number! 292,000/year.
My father recently passed, and we had the local VFW perform a service, 21 gun salute and all. Anyway....they left me with a little flyer that contained these facts, as well as a donation reminder.
I have thought about flying my dads flag too, and decided not to, but rather leave it neatly folded in a triangle, as it was presented to me.
It is a personal decision to fly or not. You will never likely establish a quorum asking us power washers. Tony C.
