I put mine up Saturday morning (and have taken it down every night since my spotlight quit working a year ago). My flag has been blown down by storms 3 times since July 4th (110 mph winds) 2005. The last one was about a year ago, and I haven't put the mount for the pole back up yet. I just hang it from the eave of the porch on two nails through the grommets now.
I always go out of my way to thank our service men and women, and veterans, when I see them. Since Wichita has McConnel AFB, I get the opportunity several times a day.
