American Flag: How to care for your flag in bad weather
“The best thing to do when a storm is coming is to bring your flag indoors,” offers Flag and Banner CEO, Kerry McCoy, “But that’s not always convenient; weather arrives abruptly and disappears just as rapidly. So, if your perfectly good flag gets caught in a sudden windstorm and the fly end becomes tattered, do not despair — all is not lost. Just cut the tattered end off and re-hem it. Your flag will be a bit shorter, but no less proud.”
U.S. Flag: How to repair your flag
If a flag owner is not the best seamstress, Arkansas’ FlagandBanner.com. can repair quality US or state flags. Flag and Banner repairs (http://www.flagandbanner.com/fab/flag.asp?cpage=flagrepair) even the largest flags for a fraction of the full replacement cost, adding years to the flag’s life. Using Flag and Banner’s repair service is especially cost-effective for businesses that fly very large flags that cost thousands of dollars to replace.
“Be careful when trying to bring down one of those large flags,” warns McCoy, “It can be dangerous even when the smallest gusts are blowing. I saw one well-meaning man take flight when he refused to let go of the flag in an updraft. It sent him soaring over 20 feet in the air before he finally decided to let go. ”
