[303rd-Talk] Assistance with Flag

[John Joerg]

Mrs. Newell,
The only easy way I could think of to do that would be to place a small 
pulley at the top of the pole so the flag can be tied (or preferably 
clipped) to a string or rope allowing you to lower or raise it.  It 
shouldn't be hard to do if you have someone around that is handy enough to 
do it.  Your message creates a question in my mind as to what you are doing 
with the old flag. your local American legion or boy scout troop would 
probably take it off of your hands to dispose of it correctly. the AL 
usually has a flag burning ceremony on flag day every year where they 
dispose of old and tattered us flags
