A few years ago, a well meaning real estate lady put American flags on lawns. Her business card was attached. This is a violation of the flag code. “The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.”
Many of these flags stayed 24/7/365. The sun and rain took what toll they could on the synthetic fibers. Many of the staffs began to tumble over, leaving the flag in the dirt.
One day, PG was riding his bike. He stopped to look through some boxes. In one of these landfill bound containers was an American flag. PG decided to save this flag from the indignity of being buried under coffee grounds.
PG saw more flags laying in the dirt. He began to stop, and pick them up. A collection of rescue flags began to accumulate.
Meanwhile, the real estate lady saw the error of her ways. The unwanted flags no longer arrived the first week of July. Sometimes there is change.
The rescue flags were displayed July 4, 2015. It rained the first part of the day. The sun soon came out, and dried the rescue flags. Pictures today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”.
